My baby is 4 months old and im still feeding her fully. Havent got my periods back yet so I assumed it cant happen, but my mom said dont be so sure. Now im a little worried, anyone been through this?
I am exclusively feeding right now and my periods havent returned, but my doctor clearly warned me that I can still ovulate without warning. So dont assume you are safe just because no periods yet. Better to take precaution.
Yes it absolutely can. Breastfeeding lowers chances for a while but it is not a reliable birth control. My second was a happy surprise while still feeding the first. If you want to space them, use proper protection.
Haan ho sakta hai na, ye myth hai ki feeding ke time pregnancy nahi hoti. Chance kam hota hai par hota hai. Agar gap chahiye to doctor se contraception pooch lo.
Breastfeeding delays fertility for some women but it is not a guarantee, especially once feeds reduce or baby starts solids. If you are not planning another soon, discuss a safe family planning method with your gynac.
