It sounds like you're just having pp bleeding, which can start again even after it's stopped. If you've been active or lifting heavy things, I'd take it easier. Keep an eye, if you pass any large clots call your Dr. , but it's probably...

When the doctor asks us how often we feed, I say every 1.5 to 3 hours, with a longer stretch at night when she's sleeping. I have no real idea how often she nurses, it changes frequently depending on what's going on developmentally,...

I have a shower head with a hose, so that I can use it as a sprayer. When I don't feel like doing the bath with me routine, I put a towel on the bottom of the tub, lay DD down, and give her a baby hose down. I wash her, and then just...
