Depends, you may use a suppository type, a condom, or an IUD type of birth control. You cannot take the pill, or the implant, or the shot. Everything you do goes straight to the baby.

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. (Pills that contain estrogen can damage your supply.) Honestly, I suggest moms avoid BC that contains estrogen as long as they are nursing and only use a Progestin-only contraceptive. For most mothers, progestin-only forms of contraception do not cause problems with milk supply if started after the 6th-8th week postpartum and if given at normal doses. The "mini-pill" is considered safe for breastfeeding mothers.

depends on the birth control
for a complete list see
http://www.safefetus.com and look up the exact pill you are taking
in general,
Both estrogens and progestins cross into milk.
Associated with suppression of lactation, decreased infant weight gain.
Compatible with breast feeding but the lowest effective dose should be chosen and infant weight gain should be monitored.

There is a progesterone birth control pill just for breastfeeding mom's that you can take. You aren't supposed to take the other kinds though.
