Yes: One can take birth control when one is not breast-feeding. Birth control is used every day by millions of women across the globe who are not breast-feeding.

Shouldn't: There are birth control pills intended for nursing moms. Mononessa is not one of them. While it would probably be ok, there are better pills to use during nursing. Specifically one of the progestin only pills would be preferred. Talk to your doctor.
