Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts/experiences.

I bled for 6 weeks postpartum. At 8 weeks postpartum I got what I am assuming is a period. However I ebf and I was not expecting this to put in an appearance so soon. Sad cramps were very very mild. Blood loss is light-medium. Before baby was born periods were very painful and very heavy.

This evening I have noticed a strong vinegar like type smell Envy (not envy lol). So now I was wondering if this could possibly be an infection. However I don't think it is as I've no temp! Would it be normal for first period to smell?
I haven't been out of GP surgery this past few weeks with my little ones being sick so I really don't want to make a trip back as I'm sure they are sick looking at me.

I had an infection after having my baby, honestly the smell was putrid. I would describe it like a drain smell tbh. I've had three babies and it definitely shocked me. See a doctor asap to check it out.
