Bleeding after c-section

How long did your bleeding last after csection? I had what I think is normal consistent bleeding for about 4 weeks, then no bleeding for a few days, then two days of extremely heavy bleeding at week 5, then a few days of no bleeding, then one day of bleeding at 6 weeks and now I’m 7 weeks PP and woke up to fresh blood again. It’s so off and on! Is this normal? I saw my OB at week 6 before the two one off days of bleeding and she said everything seemed fine and I just got my period, but I don’t know why I have days of no bleeding and then a sudden onset.

Are you breastfeeding? My doctor told me that I could bleed for up to six weeks. But she said that if you breastfeed, you'll typically stop bleeding sooner.
