I have been bleeding (like menstrual bleeding) for the last five days or so...is this my first period postpartum...even though I am bf?!

Or should I go see my gp?

Thanks!

Could be. Some women's AF's come straight back and arrive every month even when BFing. which is why it's not an effective contraception on it's own

my period came back about 5-6 weeks post birth aswell and has been a regular monthly cycle ever since.
