Periods after c section delivery
I have got my c section delivery on 25.11.2025 &am having a baby boy.
The postpartum bleeding lasted for 60 days till 25.01.2025 though bleeding was negligible during the last days.
However my period got started on 18.02.2025 even though baby is exclusively on breastfeeding & lasted for nine days. Both day and night times on every two to three hours I do feed my baby as my milk supply is sufficient for the infant.
But my period is very very heavy because of which I am getting weak.Is it normal to get the period so early while on breastfeeding or needs to be treated.
Need urgent guidance.
