Women who breastfeed their babies develop
lactation amenorrhea in 80% of all cases.
This means that when breastfeeding, these
women do not menstruate for several
months. Women who bottle feed their babies
(don’t breastfeed) normally re-establish
their regular periods in the first 6 weeks
after delivery.
During the first 3 weeks after delivery,
women experience a vaginal discharge which
can bloody during the first 10 days.
In your case, you are still experiencing
bloody vaginal discharge, or spotting, 2
months after delivery. It doesn’t seem
normal so you can request an examination
and follow up with your gynecologist.
