Is it safe to use the Unwanted 72 emergency contraceptive pill while breastfeeding a nine-month-old infant?

Asked by Female, 26 · 14 days ago

Yes, it is safe to use the Unwanted 72 emergency contraceptive pill (which contains levonorgestrel) while breastfeeding your nine-month-old. Only a tiny amount of the hormone passes into breast milk, and medical evidence shows it does not harm your baby or affect your milk supply. To minimize even this small exposure, you can take the pill immediately after a breastfeeding session. This gives your body time to clear much of the medication before the next feed. You can safely continue nursing your little one.
