Can women take birth control pills during breastfeeding?

As we all know, the quality of mother's milk has a great impact on the baby. If you take contraceptives during breastfeeding, first the amount of milk will be reduced to normal, and the nutritional content of the milk will also be affected, which can easily cause high blood pressure and diabetes in the user.

Contraceptive pills should be taken only after you are no longer breastfeeding

(1) Contraceptives can reduce breast milk production, and if you take contraceptives and breastfeed within 2 months after delivery, it may theoretically affect the baby's growth.

(2) For mothers who do not breastfeed exclusively, since the contraceptive effect after delivery cannot be guaranteed, if they insist on taking birth control pills and want to continue breastfeeding for a period of time, they should wait at least 3 months after delivery before starting to take them. This will have less impact on breast milk and the baby.

(3) Taking birth control pills during breastfeeding should be the last method of contraception, and other contraceptive methods should be considered first.

(4) When taking birth control pills, you should also pay attention to the contraindications, especially if you have high blood pressure, diabetes or other problems caused by pregnancy during pregnancy. You should wait until your blood pressure and blood sugar return to normal before taking the pills.
