Light period while breastfeeding

Annalise

Hey ladies,

My baby boy was born on October 31st.

My first “period” was around 7 weeks pp. And now again at 12 weeks pp. Both times , they are super light. I don’t even have to wear a pad or tampon because of it being so light. It’s just pink when I wipe.

Is it normal to have light periods while breastfeeding & postpartum?

Also, I’m not exclusively breastfeeding either. He’s on mostly formula but I do try to breastfeed him as much as possible.
