We perform modulational instability analysis of the Kuznetsov-Ma breather (KMB) propagating in a medium with constant and periodic dispersions. In the constant dispersion case, we show that the most unstable modulational instability eigenmode leads to bifurcation of the KMB into a sequence of breathers. The time at which bifurcation starts and the
