i bled more than 40 days each time 
Check with doc but also keep taking vitamin supplements, I was told to continue my pre-natal for some time. It all depends. Make sure to buy some thick pads…like the ultra absorbent ones and buy more depending on your need. Drink lots of water and milk, like other mentioned eat healthy fiber rich foods, avoid spicy/gassy foods, avoid too much caffeine esp if you’ll be breastfeeding. If you don’t have anyone to make that ‘panjiri’ thing, do try to eat some mix of nuts like almonds, walnuts, etc…they are good for you. Definitely shower soon as you are able to, it will make you feel much better and cleaner. Good Luck!
