Patient's question:
Three and a half months after a cesarean section, I had intercourse yesterday morning and took a birth control pill yesterday afternoon. How long do I need to wait before breastfeeding to ensure the baby is not harmed?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it should be three months after a cesarean section, and you took emergency contraception after sexual intercourse. Theoretically, emergency contraception should not cause any interference, it does not interfere with the embryo. Breastfeeding is not recommended to take birth control pills, it is better to wait a week before breastfeeding. Moreover, it's a three-month-old baby. If you're not sure, you can breastfeed after 24 hours. In the future, it's better to remove the intrauterine device and breastfeed.
