Bleeding... WTF

Sorry if this is a TMI question - 

I'm 8 weeks PP and bleeding has started again. It's heavier than it was right after birth, but lighter than my periods used to be. Confused if this is just more PP bleeding or my actual AF. I'm EBF, and my baby is NOT STTN! He has slept a couple 5 hour stretches (literally 2x in his life)  - is that enough to make AF return? Also, I started the mini pill last week, could that have caused this ?

My supply has either dropped or my milk tastes funny - LO has been fussy and miserable at the boob all day.

    I bled off and on (mostly on) until 10 weeks PP, so it could be PP bleeding still.  GL, I know that sucks.

    I'm guessing bleeding's from starting the mini pill. I bled like a normal period within the first week of starting it. It's been 7 weeks since then and I haven't bled since.

    It certainly could be PP bleeding making a return but it could also be AF. I stopped bleeding PP around 5 weeks and at 6 weeks PP my period returned and was like clockwork after that. I was EBF and DD didn't STTN until 9 months. :/
