    When you breast feed you don't get your periods. Until (this is different for everyone) about 6 mo to a yr later... if I remember right. I breast fed for a yr and a 1/2 and started getting my periods about a yr into nursing him. They were irregular and light until I completely stopped. Chances are you are not pregnant, BUT do NOT use breastfeeding as a contraceptive! Make sure you use some other form of because if you do not want to become pregnant again. Anyway, I think that you are perfectly normal!

    I breast fed for over two years with my daughter, didn't get a period until 19 months after her birth. Enjoy it while you can, your period will be back before you know it.
