General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advise.

There is physiologgical phenomena called lactational amenorrheoa meaning no menstruation or fertility till breastfeeding is continued.

So no need to take contraceptive pills till you are feeding or menstruation has not started.

Second thing pills have to be started from 5 th day of menstrual cycle which you have not done. So bleeding in your case is due to menstrual cycle completion and not because of contraceptive pills.
Consult gynecologist and get per vaginal examined.
Ask her/him for other contraceptive measures.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards
Dr. Hiren
