A member asked:
Is the patch contraception good when breastfeeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No contains estrogen: Contraceptives come in several formulations: combination pills which contain estrogen and progestin, barrier methods which contain no hormones and progestin based contraceptives (depo, minipill) which contain only progestins. The Barrier methods and progestin only methods will not interfere with breastfeeding. Estrogen may reduce your milk production. Talk to your DR.
