Hello,
The contraception used during lactation (while a woman breastfeeds) contains only progesterone, which can cause bleeding as a common complication. Thus, I think you are having these irregular bleeding due to progesterone.
You will need to talk with your doctor though and have a thorough visit so you can make sure it is related to progesterone or not.
I hope this answers your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
