New bleeding at 6 weeks?

I will be 6 weeks pp tomorrow and my bleeding has been quite light since about 3 weeks and brown in colour, before pretty much stopping by 5 weeks. However past couple of days I have had what seems to be new fresh bleeding, only light but pink yesterday and more bright red today. I am ebf so don't think it would be my period but just not sure if this seems normal at this stage. I have my 6 week check up with the doctors on Monday so will mention it then but just wondering if anyone else had similar experiences?

I EBF and that was when I had my first post partum period. Despite BFing both my children for over two years each, my periods came back really early for both! Was so annoyed!

My periods came back while EBF as well. I don't think it was quite this early, but it does happen.

Oh I do hope it's not my period! Didn't get one for 6 months with my first two children so was expecting similar this time.
