First period postpartum

Sorry if this is tmi...... What is normal for a postpartum period? I had bleeding for about 5 weeks PP which stopped about a week ago. My PP bleeding slowly got darker until it dissappeared. About 3-4 days ago I started bleeding again with bright red blood. I have been bleeding more and more every day it seems. Today it seems crazy, I am filling a super plus tampon in an hour. Is this normal? My periods before I got pregnant were very light and only about 2-3 days long. I'm also been formula feeding since about 3 days old.
Edit: Also wanted to add that I've had way more cramping the normal, have been feeling completely exhausted and have been having a backache.

I breastfed until 13 months and I had bleeding until 5.5 weeks then stopped bleeding for about 6 days then started bleeding again until about 10 weeks, though it was only light to moderate. I had my first period at 11.5 months postpartum.
