First period PP: so exhausted

Just wondering if this is normal. My LO is 11 months and my first PP period has just appeared. Nothing else about our routine has changed but I am just absolutely exhausted. Unbelievably tired and lethargic. Will this pass as my system gets used to it? I'm assuming that the hormones that were getting me through night wakings have disappeared?

The same thing happened to me. I was so tired and kept feeling light headed. Turns out my iron levels were low again (this happened after I gave birth) I am back on my iron tablets and feel so much better. Get yourself checked if it carries on x
