Patient's question:
Doctor, I am 27 years old this year, female. I have already had a child, but I am currently in the breastfeeding period and also have sexual activity. I don't want to have a second child so soon. I would like to ask how long after taking emergency contraception can I breastfeed my baby?Doctor's answer:
You took emergency contraception pills while breastfeeding, and this can have some impact on breastfeeding. You can wait 24 hours after taking the medication before feeding the child. During this time, you can give the child some baby rice or formula. The main contraceptive method during breastfeeding is condoms. It's best not to use contraception pills, and make sure to be mindful of breastfeeding every time you have sexual intercourse. Finally, I wish you a speedy recovery.
