Yes, but you need to avoid combination pills.
It's recommended that any estrogen-containing contraceptive be avoided until baby is at least six months old AND after baby is well-established on solid foods.
Estrogen-containing contraceptives have been linked to low milk supply and a shorter duration of breastfeeding even when started when baby is older, after milk supply is well established. Not all mothers who take contraceptives containing estrogen will experience a low milk supply, but these unaffected mothers appear to be a very small minority.
Progestin-only contraceptives are the preferred choice for breastfeeding mothers when something hormonal is desired or necessary.
Progestin-only contraceptives come in several different forms:
the progestin-only pill (POP) also called the "mini-pill" (Micronor, Errin, Nor-QD, Ovrette, Microval, etc)
the birth control injection (Depo Provera)
the progesterone-releasing IUD (Mirena, Progestasert)
the birth control implant (Norplant, Implanon).

you can take a birth control called the Mini Pill. It only has progesteron (sp) in it instead of both that and estrogen.
normal B.c pills like ortho tricyclen can effect your milk supply.
the mini pill is more finicky then a full bc pill. it MUST be taken at the same time every day and can make you spot between periods more. (if you have gotten a period since you gave birth)

You can safely take progesterone-only pills while breastfeeding. The combo estrogen/progesterone pills that are the most common aren't dangerous for the baby, but they do tend to decrease your milk supply, which is why they recommend the progesterone-only pills. Other options that won't affect milk supply are copper or progesterone IUDs or Depo-Provera.

convinced you could, i replaced into given this prescription with my son while he replaced into breast feeding and now he's 4 and not something is incorrect with him. maximum medical doctors provide you a catalogue on the initiating of a being pregnant that tells you whats risk-free for you and fetus, those issues would be risk-free mutually as breastfeeding too. desire I helped you out.

Yes, I am. Just make sure your doctor knows so he can give you the correct prescription. You need a certain kind that won't reduce your milk supply.

I don't think you're supposed to. The drugs pass through the milk to the baby.
