Yes you can bleed for up to 2 months after you have a baby. If it goes for longer than that, you will need to tell your doctor. My doctor doesn't see his patients for a postpartum checkup until 2 months after the baby is born. So don't worry.

I never get my regular period back until the baby is about three months old.
