My periods are back in 3months and 3 weeks post delivery even though I am exclusively breastfeeding my baby. Is this ok or does it warrant a doctor visit?

It's fine until it's not bleeding in excess. It differs from person to person. Your periods have come but they might not be regular since you are breastfeeding
So take contraceptive too.
