Breastfeeding is only effective as contraception when baby is exclusively breastfed, at 9 months baby would also be being weaned so not exclusively breastfed. You might just be starting your period again, but you'll probably need to take a pregnancy test to find out do it sure.

It’s important to remember that breastfeeding can only be used as birth control for the first 6 months of a baby’s life, or until your period returns. After that, breastfeeding is way less effective — especially as the baby begins to eat solid foods and sleeps longer at night. Be ready to use another birth control method at 6 months, when your period returns, or if you start feeding your baby food or formula.
