my daughter is 6 weeks today and I don't know which method to use because I don't want to harm my baby. I don't want to use just condoms because I don't want to risk becoming pregnant again so soon. Thanks

The "mini pill" is usually considered a good option for nursing mothers. You DO NOT want to take a combination pill while nursing. Taking a progestin-only contraceptive is the best choice while nursing. 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. (Occasionally a mom might have a problem though!) DEFINATELY DO NOT take a pill that contains estrogen.
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).

There are low dosage birth control pills you can take while nursing. Ask your doctor about them. I took them while I breastfed my daughter. I used the Ortho Micornor. I've heard that breastfeeding can interfere with getting pregnant, but I wouldn't count on that as effective birth control. Even on the pill, I didn't get my period until my daughter was almost 6 months old. I nursed for a year.

An IUD won't have an effect on the milk. Try that :) You can leave it in for 5 yrs, or even 10. The copper ones can stay in for 10 yrs. It's prob better to get the 5 yr one. Hope this helps :)

Most doctors recommend the mini pill if you are nursing and want to go on the pill because it's less likely to cause any problems.
Some also recommend an IUD if you don't want to get pregnant for several years.
Talk to your doctor and see what he/she recommends for you.

Yes, absolutely. Don't use the pill or patch since that will affect your milk. My doctor was adamant about NOT nursing before he would prescribe me bcps!
Talk to your doctor and your baby's pediatrician about the safest form of birth control. Good luck and congratulations on your new baby.

I don't understand why people don't read the entire packet of the papers the hospital gives us about birth control. If you are pregnant or nursing you should not be on birth control.

the hormones in BC pills/shots/patches will affect your milk supply, I wouldn't take them while nursing.
