16 month old - still no period!

Hi,
I’m starting to get a little worried. My son is 16 months and I still haven’t had a period. Breastfed but obviously eats food, still having night feeds.
Older son was 13 months when my period came back so I was expecting it again, has anyone not had a period for this long?
Definitely not pregnant & on no contraception, it would literally be the immaculate conception if I was 😆

Mine disappeared for over 3 years with DC1.

Mine disappeared for 2 years! Then. And back and I got pregnant straight away as soon as I cut down to once at night. Very normal from what I could see online, though over 2 years less so.
Theres a chance you could ovulate for the fist time before you have a period so keep an eye out if pregnancy does become a possibility.

Wow!! 2-3 years, sounds like I don’t have anything to worry out then. I find it kind of amazing how breastfeeding is stopping ovulation. I was thinking I was at the higher end of normal.
How often were you both bf? Not decided on whether or not we will have another baby but I doubt it, especially if it could be over 2 years!
