I took birth control pills once during breastfeeding

Nowadays, many couples hope to have more space for themselves and do not want to have children so early, so they usually take various contraceptive measures. There are many contraceptive measures, such as condoms, birth control pills and so on. Some people prefer to use condoms; some people prefer to use birth control pills. Some breastfeeding women may accidentally ingest birth control pills. So what will happen if they take birth control pills once during breastfeeding?

Most birth control pills contain estrogen, which can change the composition of breast milk and affect the baby's development.

It is forbidden to take emergency contraceptive pills during breastfeeding because they are hormonal drugs and have a great impact on the quality of milk.

Suggestions: It is recommended to suspend breastfeeding for at least 48 hours, and to express milk on time within 48 hours, and then resume breastfeeding after 48 hours.

Notes during breastfeeding:

1. Do not take medication casually: Although breastfeeding is a little easier than pregnancy, you cannot be negligent at all, especially when it comes to medication. Many breastfeeding mothers understand that you cannot take medication casually during breastfeeding. Affecting milk secretion is a small matter, but passing it to the baby through breast milk is a big deal, which will affect the baby's growth and development. Therefore, during breastfeeding, mothers should take medication under the guidance of a doctor.

2. Pay attention to the hygiene of breastfeeding: Before breastfeeding, be sure to wipe the nipple with a clean hot towel and then let the baby hold it in the mouth. This can ensure hygiene. After breastfeeding, you should wipe it again to make sure there is no dirt left on the nipple, and wipe the corners of the baby's mouth clean to avoid making the baby feel uncomfortable.

3. Maintain sufficient milk: During breastfeeding, you must pay attention to drinking water and do not reduce the amount of water you drink. At the same time, you should also pay attention to nutritional matching. Only with adequate nutrition can your baby have enough milk to drink.

4. Save excess milk: If the mother still has plenty of milk after the baby is full, it is recommended to use a breast pump to suck out the milk, and then refrigerate the sucked milk. This way, you can warm up the milk and feed the baby when the baby is hungry or the mother is out. If the milk is particularly abundant, you can pour it out. Be sure to clean the breast pump to avoid mastitis caused by bacteria.
