Does taking birth control pills during breastfeeding have any effect on the child?

Patient's question:

Doctor, my baby is now 6 months old. I had sex last night, but the contraception failed. I would like to take the 72-hour emergency contraceptive pill. Could it affect the baby's breastfeeding? Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

Hello; Emergency contraception pills contain high levels of hormones, and after taking them, the milk will contain the pill, which is not good for the baby's health. In addition to regular treatment for contraception, patients need to consult experts more often and maintain communication with doctors. Patients also need to pay attention to diet, such as eating a balanced diet and keeping a positive mood. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment, so that they can get a good therapeutic effect.
