Hello. Welcome to HCM. Menstruation's are very irregular after child birth, especially if you are breastfeeding your baby, but when the mother wean her baby from breastfeeding the menses will have to come back to it's regular cycle. If this doesn't happen it indicates a potential hormonal problem. I suggest you to see your doctor and make some tests for hormonal balances. It is nothing to worry about. You can start some contraceptive pills and your cycle will become normal again.
