Brief Answer:
No it is not a cause of concern.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir,

Thanks for trusting hcm about your wife health care.
I can understand your concerns.
As your wife deliver recently and if she is breast feeding her baby than her cycle maybe irregular.
It can also be irregular due to stress, anxiety, changes in sleeping pattern, iron deficiency hormonal changes and inadequate diet.
So there is no need to worry about it.
But you should always use precautions in this cases because with irregular menses ovulation is unpredictable and chances of pregnancy are there.
Hope it is useful, feel free to ask more questions.
Good luck.
Regards

Brief Answer:
Explained.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir,
Sorry for the long delay in my response.
If she had problem of irregular cycles from last 3-4 months than she can consult a Gynecologist and get herself examined to rule out the cause.
There are few common causes like hormonal changes, thyroid disorder, blood disorder, infection, fibroid and PCOD which may cause.
Common non pathological causes we have discussed before.
She should get her pelvic ultrasound, thyroid profile, haemogram to rule out the above mentioned causes.
Hope it is useful.
Good luck.
