The Texas Dept of State Health Services has a good pamphlet on BF and Family Planning in English and Spanish. It is a chart listing all the methods and how they affect breastfeeding, their PG rates, etc. It clearly states that Depo should be given after 6 weeks PP and there is a risk of reduced milk supply. I give this out to all the mothers I am loaning an Elite pump to for hospitalized babies or when doing home consultations. We are trying to give them out to moms in our WIC clinics also. We have lots of doctors down here trying to get moms on some sort of chemical BC method before leaving the hospital. I once had a polite disagreement with an OB who had BF both her children about the importance of waiting 6 weeks before giving this shot or other hormone contraception. She felt they would be pregnant again if she did not start them on something immediately. Check your state health dept for something similiar.
