A member asked:

Can i take a plan b pill while breastfeeding? i just had my baby two months ago and i had a scare last night and want to make sure that i can take a plan b pill and not harm my baby in the process.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Plan : Plan b or any other form of progestin-only emergency contraception is considered safe while breast feeding. Even though small amounts of the hormone may pass through into the breast milk, it will not harm your baby nor will it effect your breast milk quality or quantity. That being said, most women who are exclusively breast feeding in the first 6 months after having a baby will not ovulate and cannot get pregnant. Just to be safe, though, if you absolutely do not want to get pregnant again, using Plan B is the safest way to go. Good luck!
