Must I make up the days I missed in the last Ramadan along with expiation, knowing that I broke my fast due to postpartum bleeding (nifas) which turned into light yellowish discharge, and I thought that complete purity (tahara) is only achieved with complete dryness?

Yellow or brownish discharge connected with blood is considered (postnatal bleeding) as long as it occurs within the forty-day period. However, if the yellow discharge appears after the cessation of blood, there is a difference of opinion regarding its ruling. You are not required to pay (expiation) merely for breaking the fast. Instead, you must make up the days you missed before the next . If you delay making up the fasts without a valid excuse, knowing the ruling, then kaffarah is required in addition to making them up.
