Brief Answer:
Consult a Gynecologist

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Usually the periods and fertility resume within 6 months of a delivery. Since you are pregnant during lactation, It is not advisable to continue the same.

I would recommend a Gynecologist visit who after examining you would take a better call.
