i understand your concern
it is highly unlikely that you are pregnant, if you are actively breast feeding your newborn.
It has long been observed that breastfeeding delays the return of menstruation in new moms. The lactational amenorrhea method (LAM) is a natural birth control technique based on the fact that lactation (breastmilk production) causes amenorrhea (lack of menstruation).
Studies have confirmed that women who exclusively breastfeed their baby around-the-clock and who have not started menstruating are very unlikely to get pregnant during the first six months after they give birth.
