Immediately: Although most will not ovulate that soon, and most women dont quite feel like having sex that soon, you could get pregnant right away. Breastfeeding in not a great contraceptive. Norqd, is a good choice while breastfeeding.

Right away: It's possible to become pregnant right away after having a baby. Progesterone only birth control pills (like nor q d) work pretty well for birth control, as long as you use them as directed (take every day and take at the same time). Nursing completely on demand definitely lowers the risk for pregnancy as well. Using them both together works even better than either alone.

Pregnancy: The human body is amazingly resilient such that women can get pregnant within a few months of delivering a child. Breastfeeding is not as effective as birth control as Nor-QD (progestin-only bcp) for contraception. We use progestin-only for breastfeeding moms so as not to interrupt milk supply w/more common combination bcps. Just be sure to take progestin-only bcps at same time daily. Set an alarm.
