Hi,
While breast feeding there is lactation amenorrhea due to hormonal changes in those days. During this phase such bleeding and cramps are a normal episode. Please don't worry. Genital cleanliness needs to be observed this time.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
