Hi Clare, same case as you but first time mum and i gave birth in Nov. As long you still bf, you wont be having period. I just stop bf recently so now waiting for my period to come. I have a few friends stop bf and period come back. So not to worry :)

No problem, read this that I found in one of the help website :)

"I've heard that breastfeeding can keep me from getting pregnant. Is this true?"

Yes, as long as you nurse according to the rules of natural child spacing. The same hormones that make milk suppress the release of reproductive hormones. While breastfeeding full-time most mothers do not ovulate and do not have menstrual periods. This means that you can't get pregnant, at least for a while. It's as if your body is telling you, "Nourishing one baby is all you can handle at the moment. It's too soon for a sibling."

Natural restraint to Reality. I just find it funny reading the last sentence but one cannot disagree with that.
