I had a baby almost 18 months ago and i am still breastfeeding and still haven't had a period. and for the past 2 months i bleed for 1 day . help.

See answer: Breast feeding every 2-3 hours suppresses ovulation, no period is normal. If you space out breast feeding to 4-5 hrs or longer, then you will ovulate and have a period. So, probably you are starting your periods..If you are concerned, visit your doctor.
