    Spotting while breastfeeding

    Is randomly spotting normal every 2 weeks-ish normal while breast feeding?
    Dd is 3 months and I have been spotting in and off since 6weeks pp (when I had endometritis and was on antibiotics)
    Dd is fully breastfed and might have one bottle a month if I'm sick or need a rest even then she only has 60-80ml and all other feeds from me

    Ds was completely formula fed from day 4 so AF came back completely regular at 6weeks pp last time every 28 days

    Are you on the mini pill? That's what happened to me when I was on that.

    Head to the dr, similar happened to me and I had an ultrasound which confirmed retained products and needed a D&C

    Pretty much, was on and off spotting/bleeding. I finally had D&C when DS was about 16weeks.
