Irregular bleeding after childbirth

Question

I got a baby 6 months ago. Before that I used to get my periods for 6 days. After nifaas I started getting my periods differently, I'm getting it for 8 days and then for 2 days nothing, on the 10th day around zuhr-asr time, I get a very slight pinkish colour on my discharge, and after that there's nothing. Must I count 6 days like how I used to get before I got a baby or count 8 days and make qadha later of the 2 days or count 10 days and make qadha of the namaaz that's left out. Must I count the pinkish colour? I'm very confused. What must I do?

Answer

You will count ten days as your complete haidh.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
