Brief Answer:
Due to breastfeeding.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I have gone through your query and understand your health concerns,
The mild spotting that you are having three months after the childbirth can be due to a mild hormonal disturbance due to the breastfeeding. The periods during breastfeeding are usually light and infrequent due to the raised levels of prolactin hormone. The periods return to normal after you stop breastfeeding.
You wait and watch the bleeding and in case the bleeding is prolonged and heavy then hormonal treatment may be needed after consulting a gynecologist.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
