Q: Question About Breastfeeding Method As Birth Control

Here's what I would like to know, I was hoping someone here can enlighten me!
I have a 3 month old baby and am looking for a safe method of birthcontrol. I thought I was using the lactational amenorrhea method of birth control, also refered to as the "breastfeeding method of birth control", however, I just found out that this only works if your period has not yet returned. Does anyone know why it doesn't work if your menstration has returned? It is healthy and normal for your menstration to return w/in the 1st month or two postpartum and I breastfeeding exclusively and on demand!
