Are you nursing? What do you mean by "twice in one month"?
Nursing mothers typically don't get their period *at all* until the baby is over a year old if they are nursing when the baby needs it. There are exceptions, however.
Bleeding less than 8 weeks postpartum doesn't count as a period; it is typically more of the lochia that you had as a result of the birth. So the previous bleeding was probably *not* a period.
And, otherwise, the definition of "month" is important. Do you mean that you had bleeding twice when your refrigerator calendar told you it was May? Your uterus can't read that calendar. Or do you mean that you had a period that started less than 20 days after your previous period started? That could be the sign of a problem. (Although, as I wrote above, the previous one probably wasn't a period.)
Different women have different cycles. Typically, a woman's menstrual cycle is 24-40 days long. Shorter than that, it's probably *not* periods every time; longer than that, you probably aren't ovulating for some reason.
I hope this helps clarify things.
If you have more questions about what is normal for a menstrual cycle, please read _Taking Charge of Your Fertility_ by Toni Weschler. It will explain everything you need to know!

First of all, every woman is different. It's very possible to have your period twice in one month after your baby is born. It's your body trying to get back to normal. One question I have is are you on birth control? This can cause some bleeding for a few days when you start a pack. If you are on birth control and you still bleed, talk to your doctor. It could just be break through bleeding, or the hormone levels in the birth control could be wrong for you.
As far as women not having a period after a baby is born for at least a year, that statement is false. Let me tell you from experience, and from my medical background that it's possible to get pregnant as soon as 2-3 weeks after you give birth. Some women don't even have a period before they find out they are pregnant again. Some women have a normal cycle sarting the same month they give birth. It all depends on the woman. I was on the mini-pill and breastfeeding and I got pregnant when my daughter was only 6 months old. I've seen it a lot, so don't listen to people who tell you that.
If you aren't on birth control, I would get on it now, unless you want another baby in 9 months.
When you stop breastfeeding, your progesterone and prolactin levels drop, which signals the body to really start getting back to normal. The fact that you aren't breastfeeding this soon after delivery would make your question more then plausible.
If you are worried, talk to your doctor. It is probably just your body trying to get back to a normal cycle.

many people bleed for a long time after they have had a baby, and then they start breast feeding and they dont get periods at all until they stop breast feeding, if the doc has put you on birth control pills the birth control pills are too strong youve got to go back to the doc and have them changed other than that if .this keeps happening next month you need to tell your doc anyway.

Infertility can be caused by a huge number of factors: hormone imbalance, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, Endometriosis, Anovulatory Cycles, physical blockage, inadequate hormone production, short luteal phase, lack of lutenizing hormone, high levels or prolactin, and many others.

Poor nutrition often plays a major role, as does exposure to toxins. Age plays less of a role before menopause than was originally thought. While there are many wonderful naturally minded fertility specialists out there, in many cases it is not possible for them to test for and address any of these possible underlying issues.

For me I bled for 3 weeks straight right after the baby was born. Then every other week for the next month. My doctor said that it had to do with my hormones and my breastfeeding.

Yes it is. Remember, you did not have one for 9 months. But, if you are bleeding real heavy, contact your Gynecologist ASAP.

No, but there is a lot of blood that keeps coming for a while.
