Patient's question:
There are some questions I would like to ask everyone. Can birth control pills be taken during breastfeeding?Doctor's answer:
Breastfeeding is not recommended while taking birth control pills. Emergency contraception pills contain high levels of hormones, and after taking them, the milk may contain birth control medication, which is not good for the baby's health. If you have already taken emergency contraception pills, it is recommended to stop breastfeeding for three days and use a breast pump or hand express to empty the breasts, ensuring normal milk flow. After three days, you can still breastfeed the baby. For future sexual activity, using condoms is a safe and reliable method of contraception.
