I just had my baby on January the 11th I am 19 years old. I brest fed for about 2 weeks. I already had finished my period last week but this morning I woke up to bleeding again is that normal?

It can be very normal. Many women will have some discharge for several weeks after birth. Some will have it off and on for a bit longer. It is likely that you have not had an actual period just yet, especially as you were breastfeeding. More likely that this is just a continuation of your postpartum bleeding still.

Congrats on your new baby!

See how things go... if it continues, you can always check with your doctor.
