I think I might be pregnant and I am still pregnant (my baby is 14mths) and I haven't had a period since she was conceived. I am wondering if pregnancy hormones cross the milk and will they affect my daughter in any way?

most woman do not get there periods, and it is normal. my son is 4 mo and i am breast feeding and i still haven't had my period and i am not worried about it, it's nature. And it cannot affect your baby.

The HCG hormone will not harm a breastfeeding baby in any way, but the hormone can alter the flavor of your milk causing your baby to reject it or ease up a little. Don't panic, though it doesn't happen to everyone.
