Dr. J Ricardo Loret De Mola answered

Specializes in Fertility Medicine

Risk for pregnancy: Unlikely, since it takes two to three months to reestablish ovulation after having a baby. If you are breast feeding fully without supplementing food to the baby even longer but it is wise to use some form of contraception after 3 months if you want to avoid pregancny.
