Diane pills benefits

If you recently gave birth, are currently breastfeeding or chest feeding, and are not yet ready for another baby, you may wonder which birth control option is right for you. 

This article will discuss the safety of breastfeeding while using birth control, potential benefits and risks, contraceptive options for breastfeeding parents, and the importance of timing when beginning birth control postpartum.

Is Birth Control While Breastfeeding Safe?

Overall, birth control is safe while breastfeeding and won't impact the health of you or your baby. Many contraceptives can be started immediately after giving birth, including intrauterine devices (IUDs), arm implants, birth control shots, and progestin-only pills. 

For the first three weeks after giving birth, you should not use a method that has the hormone estrogen, like the pill, patch, or ring. After six weeks, you can start any of these medications—sometimes at three weeks if you have no risk factors and are not breastfeeding.
