Is it safe to take birth control while breastfeeding?


Is it safe to take birth control while breastfeeding?

Talk to your OBGYN they have special progestin only pills for nursing mothers. I'm on them now.
yes, it can decrease milk production, so wait until you have a well established supply and a good nursing relationship
When I was breastfeeding my son, my OB recommended that we use an alternate method like condoms or a diaphram.
During and after 5 successful pregnancies, I have tried birth control... but with the different warnings about The "new" birth control U might need to ask your doctor.
Ask a doctor!
NO. Use condoms.

Anything you take will go to the baby.

It's not safe to take it while pregnant, then it is certainly NOT safe to take it while nursing.
On the Pill 14 years.
