Still possible: Breast feeding does provide some contraception but only if you aren't even using a pacifier and withdrawal is the worst method of contraception. At only 5 weeks post-partum you are relatively safe but not 100%. Now is the time to look into starting one of the contraceptive options that doesn't interfere with breast feeding unless you want another child immediately. Hope this helps.
