how long did u bleed (post partum)

I had my baby yesterday and i havent had any clots and im only bleeding enough to cover most of a regular sized pad (between bathroom trips). Im breast feeding. I know that causes gushes when my uterus contracts during feedings. Will that make the blood leave faster and bleeding to be shorter or will i bleed more? How long did u bleed??

I bled for a lot 3-4 weeks, not breastfeeding.  I also got cut down there during Labour so that might have something to do with it..

I had a csection, breastfed, and I still bled for 6 weeks. Everyone is different though.
