fertility after weaning

Hi Drs, i'm married and i have 2year baby girl.i got pregnant after 3 months of my marriage normally without any problem.I got my period back after 9 months of getting the baby, it is regulare for 31 days, i decide to have the second baby when my first was 1year and 4months.but i didnt get pregnant until now.I weaned my baby when she was 1yr and 10 months old (2months ago).Is this delay in pregnant because of breast feedinng (note that i dont use any other birth control ),if yes ,for how many months should i wait after weaning to get pregnant again?

Hello,
Hope you are doing well. As you mentioned you had started menstruating 9 month after your baby birth you had already started ovulating. Breastfeeding can delay fertility, and in few women, decrease their libido. Fertility returns for most women even after nursing a child for long periods. The fertility reducing affect of breastfeeding varies from woman to woman. It is suggested to consult a gynecologist. A complete history and clinical examination may be helpful. Do keep me posted.
Best luck and regards!
