Post Parton the resumption of periods can be 6 weeks to ) months due to breast feeding . This periods are usually anovulatory and ovulation is unpredictable due to high prolactin level during breast feeding phase . My advice is to keep a menstrual calendar to keep a track of your periods and use an effective contraception to avoid unwanted pregnancy. Please consult Online for better understanding and help.

Reason for the pain could be calcium deficiency
make sure you are taking calcium supplements till you a breastfeeding
also get your vitamin D n vitamin b12 checked
It is normal to get periods in the lactation period
If you are bleeding before 21 days you need investigations
