Hi,
Thanks for the query.

During lactation some amount of hormonal imbalance will be there and that can lead to menstrual irregularity.
If you had unprotected intercourse there is possibility of pregnancy also.
If that possibility is not there, then the spotting could be due to hormonal possibly.
Usually minimal spotting will subside soon with out the need of medication.
If the spotting continues once consult gynecologist and get evaluated.
