A member asked:

Can estrogen in cocps actually harm my baby if taken while breastfeeding? or will it just reduce supply? how soon after birth can i start taking it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

COCPS and breastmilk: Cocps are safe for use while breastfeeding, however they do reduce breastmilk supply. Best to start cocps 6-8 weeks after delivery so you can establish breastfeeding. Progestin only oral contraceptives will have less effect on milk supply . Breastfeeding online has a great website about breastfeeding and medication: http://breastfeedingonline.Com/meds.Shtml#sthash.Y4c00jvc.Dpbs.
