First Period? Please Answer.

Hey ladies so I had my daughter on May 22nd and as you guys obviously already know it's now July 2nd. I stopped bleeding about 4 weeks after I had my daughter and just started bleeding again today. Could this be my normal period again or is it still to soon for that to start happening? And when did you guys start having your regular period again after birth?

I breastfeed so I didn't get my cycle until 9 months later! If you supplement, then it's normal to start soon.
