No need to worry
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic.
It is common to have irregular periods after delivery. It is due to hormonal changes during lactation. Such periods are mostly anovulatory.
There is nothing to worry as these regularise after breast feeding is stopped or whenever the hormonal pattern becomes normal. It is a natural process.
Hope it helps.
