Beautiful, delicious, sexy, desirable! Caring, affectionate, kind, with a smile on her pretty face! The first epithets correspond to the woman in the eyes of her husband, the second - in the eyes of her child. Young mothers devote themselves to their babies day and night, because they feed him with their breasts. Although at night it would not hurt to give a piece of yourself to a faithful spouse. But how to be when the breastfeeding of a child for a woman now comes first, and the birth control pills for nursing mothers still would not want to be ignored? A healthy mother is a healthy baby! This motto is relevant for the entire lactation period. The issue of baby health ranks first when mother thinks about contraception for the period of breastfeeding. Are all contraceptives for breastfeeding moms safe and effective today?

Lactation is not always a protection

We spread the myth that during the period of breastfeeding(and this can be up to 2 years) can not get pregnant at all. It is possible, and even the woman herself may not know this, but feel when the baby starts to move already inside. Nobody would like to frighten such sayings, so now facts enter into our narration. In 1988, in Italy, a study was made of the effect of lactation on ovulation, and medical scientists found that breastfeeding would be a contraceptive by 98% (!) If:

• the baby feeds only on the breast, without getting any food;
• the baby is not older than 6 months;
• intervals between feedings are no more than 4 hours;
• my mother did not start menstruating.

If any of these items in mom's life, well, andof course, the baby will change, then the woman will be able to become pregnant. However, this does not mean that the mother will have to stop feeding. The latest studies summarize that ovulation after 3 months after birth occurs in 18% of nursing mothers, after 6 months - already at 43%. This suggests that women in the lactation period can still get pregnant again and still need contraception.

Choose a contraceptive

First of all, suchcontraceptive pills that will not affect the secretion of milk and will not interrupt breastfeeding. In this case, combined oral contraceptive pills (COCs) are strictly not suitable. After all, their influence on the nursing infant and the nursing mother is not fully understood. Young mothers need a drug that will not affect either milk production, lactation volumes, or baby health and will provide effective protection. According to recent studies, the secretion of milk is not suppressed by those contraceptives that contain analogues of the hormone progesterone, all known as "mini-pili". The hormone progesterone in these tablets does not affect the production of breast milk, but can transfer to it in quite small quantities. Important nuance! To avoid the effect of such contraceptive on the liver of a child, minipills are recommended to be taken only 6-8 weeks after the birth, regularly at the same time. Delay with taking more than 3 hours will reduce the contraceptive barrier or lead to its complete disappearance. If after all the time of regular admission was missed for more than 3 hours, additional contraception will be needed for the next 48 hours! If you miss a whole day, you should take two tablets: the missed pill and the next one following the schedule, etc. And, of course, in this case, do not forget about additional protection - a condom. The secret of mini-pills action is that the uterine mucosa under their influence is somewhat condensed and does not literally give a passage to spermatozoa. But even if fertilization with the help of one "shustrenkogo element" occurred, then the same condensed mucous uterus simply does not give a foothold on a fertilized egg, which also has a modified shell under the influence of mini-saws. Today in pharmacies for the choice of nursing mothers there are several contraceptives "mini-drank":

• "Exclutton"
• "Ovret",
• "Microlut",
• "Micronor",
• "Femulen",
• "Cherozette",
• Laktionet,
• "Norkolut",
• Continuum.

The use of modern methods of contraception, inin particular, contraceptive pills, for breast-feeding mothers is a quality supplementary to the contraceptive effect of breastfeeding and reduces the occurrence of unwanted pregnancies to zero. But no one canceled the doctor's consultation before the application! Be healthy!
