Stop bleeding? Sorry if being too nosy!!

I gave birth 2weeks ago, with my second child, and some days and most nights now I can go without bleeding, but then all i have to do is pick up my ds (19months old) and off it all starts again!!

6 weeks and bled more when baby was on my breast.

My first period started before I'd stopped bleeding from the birth.

About 4 weeks i suppose.
