Your periods would have started and this is normal.sometimes periods might be little irregular and always there is chance for pregnancy,so take proper contraception for family planning.

It is not necessary that periods will come during feeding. Some times can be pregnant also so go for pregnancy test and if negative then start Ocp cerezette for lactational Amenorrhoea.
