Mazal tov on the birth of your baby!
It is difficult to make a precise distinction between
spotting and a flow, but a flow is generally enough to require a pad, not just a pantiliner. It sounds like you are experiencing spotting rather than a flow, and conducting yourself appropriately.
We follow the opinion that spotting on a white disposable
pantiliner does not make you
niddah. Therefore, it is fine to use white pantiliners if they are more comfortable for you.
Women react differently to the
mini pill, and it is normal to have spotting with this form of contraception even when exclusively nursing. We recommend discussing the burning sensation with your physician.
B'hatzlacha!
