Breastfeeding Moms - Birth Control?
Just curious what everyone is doing for birth control if they breastfeed. My OB prescribed Norabe (mini-pill) but it does say it can be transferred through breastmilk. Not sure what to do.

Re: Breastfeeding Moms - Birth Control?
We are pulling and praying too. We want to TTC in the summer again so I don't want to be on the pill only to go off again.

Re: Breastfeeding Moms - Birth Control?
Pull and pray here, very stupid since my 2nd was conceived that way a week after I stopped BF. So far I have ot gotten my AF so we'll see. I always felt so uncomfortable taking anything while Bf, I know i shouldnt but I still do.

ditto.
I don't attend church enough to bank on the power of prayer  . I REALLY do NOT want to be pregnant. An IUD is probably in my future.

Same here! Just to darn scared is more like it to me!! I am 6 1/2 months PP and have gotten AF twice (November & December) so I am sure my body is getting back on track.
DS sort of weaned himself 2 weeks ago, so my supply tanked worse then it was and between that & AF I am just producing so little. Pumping was almost pointless, so I am stopping that too.
Will I go on BCP? Not sure yet.........
I could not bring myself to go back on the pill!! Even the mini one. Hated what I use dot feel like, so I think I am done with that for a while. We will TTC in the next year or so anyhow........

Re: Breastfeeding Moms - Birth Control?
I took Norabe (mini-pill) while BFing and it worked great...or maybe it was the abstinence.
