My baby is 6 months and im still breastfeeding, periods havent come back yet. My MIL keeps saying you cant get pregnant while feeding but im not so sure. Is it actually true?
Look, breastfeeding releases prolactin which suppresses ovulation, but it's NOT a reliable contraceptive. Don't depend on it at all unless you want an unplanned pregnancy. Use protection!
God has designed our bodies beautifully to give us time to heal between babies. Breastfeeding naturally delays ovulation, but we must still take care of our health. Keep your mind peaceful and trust the process.
Actually, lactation amenorrhea only works under very specific conditions like exclusive breastfeeding. Hormones vary wildly for everyone, so it's best to consult your gynecologist about postpartum family planning.
It is because of the hormones when you breastfeed frequently. I also thought I was safe but my doctor corrected me back then. Now that my kid is a toddler, I realize how fast time flies, so just enjoy this bonding time.
Oh, is this actually true? I am still pregnant with my first and learning so much. Can you really not get pregnant at all while nursing, or is it just a chance?
My saas always said that as long as baby is drinking only mother's milk, you won't get pregnant. But my doctor said that's old advice and not 100% true. Better to be safe and use backup family planning methods.
Yes, the body tries to protect itself while feeding a baby, but please don't take risks with this. Having gone through a loss before, I know how precious and delicate our bodies are. Please check with your doctor to plan safely.
