Yeah postportum bleeding will last a month or less but when you breastfeed only sometimes it holds up your period for as long as a year but its mostly a bit less its different for every womeni didn't bleed until my son turned 8 months :)

I hear if you breastfeed your periods are less painful and not as heavy. Either way you should breastfeed for the benefit of your child.

Yes you'll bleed for 2-4 weeks after birth. Stitches sting but jot always. Mine didn't bother me where I tore. And breastfeeding can delay your period for months but its different for everyone.
