Period only lasts half a day?

Hey mamas,

I’m 9 months postpartum and EBF. About a month ago I thought I was getting my first pp period but I only bled once very briefly - definitely blood, not spotting, but only saw it one morning and then it was gone.

My periods were pretty standard before I got pregnant (30 day cycles, 7 day periods, avg flow, etc.) so I didn’t think there was any way this could be an actual period and chalked up to another strange, one off pp symptom.

Now, 30 days later, the exact same thing happened. It seemed heavier this time but was just on and off yesterday and completely gone today.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is it normal? Any explanations?
