Breastfeeding: Breastfeeding alters the hormonal production of the ovaries which leads to menstrual cycle irregularity. Once you stop breastfeeding then hormonal production resumes and the menstrual cycles will follow. You can track your cycles over the next few months. Consider starting birth control for cycle regulation and prevention if you are not wanting to get pregnant or wanting better cycle control
