How can one practice safe contraception?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I am 30 years old this year. About half a year ago, I had my first child. My husband and I don't want a second child. But I also don't want to have a tubal ligation surgery. I would like to consult here in the future. Hello, how can I safely breastfeed?

Doctor's answer:

There are several methods of breastfeeding. Condoms, induced abortion, and intrauterine devices (IUDs) can all help achieve some breastfeeding effects. Since you have a child now and do not want to undergo a sterilization surgery, you can choose to have an IUD inserted at the hospital for breastfeeding. You can decide to go to the hospital two to three days after your period is clean to have the IUD inserted. Avoid sexual activity within the first week of having the IUD inserted. If there is any skin breakdown, you can take anti-inflammatory medication for treatment. Finally, wish you a speedy recovery.
