The best and natural prevention of pregnancy is breastfeeding. Under the influence of a hormone such as prolactin in the mammary glands, milk is formed, while the maturation processes are blocked and the ovarian ovation is released. And therefore pregnancy will not occur. What type of contraception can be used for breastfeeding? Lactation as a method of contraception is a fairly effective method of lactation, but it is worth noting the need for the presence of three factors simultaneously:- the child is less than six months;- the menstrual cycle has not yet been resumed (all discharge within 42 days after birth is not considered menstruation); — the baby is completely on breastfeeding or partially. Under these conditions, the chance to get pregnant is less than 2%. Contraception combined with breastfeeding sterilization — this method is used only if the birth of children is no longer planned: male sterilization is the ligation of the ducts that take out sperm, female pipe is ligated. An intrauterine spiral can be put about a month after childbirth, if a child is artificial feeding, about six months later — with a cesarean section. During breastfeeding, hormonal drugs can also be used as contraceptives, but only progesterone -containing. These drugs fall into breast milk in very small quantities and have no effect on the development of the baby. Contraceptives, which include progesterone, estrogen during lactation on contraindicated, and do not affect the baby, but have a detrimental effect on the amount of breast milk. You can also use condoms and diaphragm.
