Breastfeeding but having period?

2 months postpartum and suddenly having heavy bleeding (bright red, quite heavy flow). It’s the third day today. Is that my period? I thought it won’t return so soon if one is exclusively breastfeeding, which I am currently. Bleeding had initially stopped after 44 days of giving birth (natural delivery). Should I be worried?

Do you breastfeed through pumping or direct latch? If you only pump or combine pumping & latching there's higher chances your period will return earlier
