My baby is just 4 months and im fully breastfeeding, still no periods back. Heard from someone that you cant conceive while feeding but im not fully convinced. Is it actually safe to assume that? want to be sure before relying on it.
Common myth this one. Exclusive breastfeeding can delay ovulation but it's not guaranteed, you can ovulate before your first period even returns. So haan, pregnancy during lactation is very possible.
I just delivered a few months back and my gynac warned me about exactly this. She said dont assume feeding protects you fully. We discussed safe options at my postpartum visit, worth asking yours too.
Yes it absolutely can. Breastfeeding lowers chances but it is NOT a reliable contraception, especially once periods return or baby starts other feeds. My second came closer than planned, so trust me, use protection.
Haan ji bilkul ho sakta hai. Log sochte hai feeding ke time nahi hoga na, but thats not true. If you're not ready for next baby, talk to doc about contraception, dont take chance.
