There are a number of options that you can opt for if you are not willing to get pregnant while breastfeeding. But in order to know the complete details of whether it is going to be alright for you to opt for contraceptives while breastfeeding, it is highly recommended to take advice from Dr Deborjyoti or any of the gynaecologist near Sodepur. However, it is widely known that breastfeeding itself is a superb form of birth control.
One can rely on it only when you are breastfeeding your baby within the first six months. In order to make it work, you need to follow exclusive breastfeeding without offering any food supplement.

Besides breastfeeding, there is an ample number of alternatives for preventing pregnancy. Some of the most beneficial options are:

Progesterone only Pill:

This is known to be one of the best and most effective options for birth control during lactation but only if you can remember to take all of it regularly every day at the same time.

Barrier Methods:

As the name suggests, the barriers block the entry of the sperm to the uterus.

Intrauterine devices:

This is another heavily effective method that is available in two different forms, hormonal and non-hormonal. Consult with your doctor before finalising which one you should opt for.

Is it safe to use the morning after pill during breastfeeding?

If you have opted for birth control and if it has failed, you can definitely prefer to consume the morning-after pill while breastfeeding. However, make sure not to treat it as the only option. Go for this one, only when the regular form of birth control methods have failed.

But make sure to consult with the best gynaecologist in Kolkata if you notice any abnormality for a long period.

Bottom Line

There are a number of safe birth control options which you can opt for if you are not ready to conceive while breastfeeding your newborn. However, in order to know which one is going to suit you the most and will be the most beneficial one, it is better to consult with a gynaecologist in North Kolkata.
