A member asked:

What to do if i have a son and i breastfeed, what would be the best birth control pill for me to use?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

All are safe: Birth control pills are safe to take during breastfeeding. If you want to use a low-dose, triphasic pill, that would be the best option, but all are really fine to use during breast feeding.
