Periods after having a baby

My baby is 13 months old and my periods has still not started. Actually I am breastfeeding him. Will it continue the same way if I continue to breastfeed? 2 times(at a difference of a month) I got some spotting but not like regular period( I even didn't needed a pad). Is that normal?
Thanks

Re: Periods after having a baby

This can be normal. However, I'd still use contraception and do a home pregnancy test soon just in case.
