Post C section
After my C section , my doctor adviced me to use Ice pack on my stomach .. initially I did and was getting bleeding but once ice pack was stopped for like 4 days , the bleeding stopped too .. Now that I use ice pack on my stomach , it bleeded like heavy period ..
I heard hot compression is after c section.. I don't know why my doctor suggested ice pack and what connection it has with bleeding ..
I am still in my post parturm phase .. It's been just 12 days to my C section ..

Hey there is no corelation between ice pack or hot pack with bleeding in postpartum phase . So you can apply any temporarily as ur preference and irregular bleeding can be due to contractions of uterus during involution . For bleeding control and better involution do continue for breast feeding the baby every 2nd hourly .
Next Steps
continue breastfeeding once 2-3 hours and don't worry [ if its heavy bleeding of soakage of 2-3 pads in an hour ; immediately go to hospital asap ]

Usage of hot pack or ice pack is unrelated to the bleeding
It is purely coincidental
Following delivery you can bleed regularly or irregularly for after 45 days
Heavy bleeding mostly is because of retained placental products
If you are bleeding profusely
Passing clots changing more than three completely soaked pads in a day
You need an urgent ultrasound

Heavy bleeding with passage of clots is not normal...then you should visit treating gynaecologist
