Menstruation after delivery

2023-01-05 05:42:54
I got c section 2 months back and I am exclusively breastfeeding. I got lighter periods after 6 weeks that continued for 5 days. Again I got light periods after 8 weeks of delivery. My doctor told me that it may happen as body is adjusting. I just want to confirm if this is normal?
