Hi, while breastfeeding periods are delayed for long time. But still now do a pregnancy test. One can easily conceive during lactation . So a contraceptive measure should be taken.

This is common during breastfeeding. Do not worry. If still you find its disturbing, you can start taking contraceptive pills which will regularize periods and prevent pregnancy.
