If breast milk is adequate, baby will pass 4 to 5 time urine /day, at least one motion /day, Wil sleep for minimum 2 hours after each feed..baby will have steady weight gain also
Continue exclusive breast feeding till 6 months. After that along with breast milk can start cereals
You have not mentioned baby's birthweight and present weight

It is common to get periods anyway between 2 months to 6-7 months post delivery.
So it is normal to have periods during this time.
Rest assure.

It's absolutely normal. No need to worry. If your baby is gaining weight on each doctor visit, passing urine well then breastmilk is adequate
