most women who breast feed don't start ovulating for about 6 months, but some start earlier and some start later.
the only way to know is to test.
and i thought you were not supposed to start solids until 6 months of age (according to my pediatrician anyhow...)

Hi,

it is definitely possible to get pregnant while breastfeeding.

However, it is also possible that your periods are not regular yet.

Considering you are a month late, you should take a home pregnancy test as it should be accurate by now.
