About 90 percent of all mothers breastfeed their infants for
some period of time, so the impact of contraceptive methods
on breastfeeding, breastmilk and infant health is a very important
consideration.
We will now discuss contraceptive options for breastfeeding
women. These options include nonhormonal methods, progestin-only
methods, and combined estrogen-progestin methods. Some of these
methods are more appropriate than others for use during breastfeeding.
Keep in mind that the following discussion applies only to
breastfeeding women.
