Hi! A lot of my friends started having their periods while still breastfeeding. According to this article (http://www.newkidscenter.com/Period-While-Breastfeeding.html), how soon a woman’s period return is affected by quite a number of factors. And quite a few mentioned the same issue of having heavy flow as well.

I have this problem too but is normal cos you have carry your baby 10months never have menses. so the first 3months will be heavy flow. I have first menses after my delivery the flow is going to 8days.

So many days ~ I feel so moody

I dun think it is menses .. It could be the lochia (post partum). It usually goes off 4-6 weeks or maybe longer (it depends)

had the same issue and it also lasted 8 days for me. talked to my gynae about it and he say it's normal for bf mum to have menses.

it's lochia not menses... I had it for close to 8 weeks.. but my menses didn't return till my boy turn 20 months as I was breastfeeding
