Answer
It is normal for your periods to be irregular while breastfeeding, and even for a few months after you wean your baby.  The wetness you describe could be what is known as egg-white mucous, which is a sign of ovulation and could mean that you could expect your next period within the next couple of weeks.  If you continue to have concerns about your periods, you should see your doctor to rule out any possible problems.
