Can babies who are breastfeeding be able to take emergency contraception?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Actually, it is not advisable to take birth control pills during breastfeeding, as emergency contraception pills contain levonorgestrel. Hormonal medications are not recommended for use during breastfeeding, and if it is necessary to use them, breastfeeding should be temporarily stopped for at least three days. Artificial feeding should be used instead.
