What is the protocol for administering Depo Provera and Norplant to breastfeeding moms? From what I've read it's best to wait six weeks to establish the milk supply; however, we have a mom who is in an abusive relationship (and will not leave at this time) and desperately wants Norplant NOW. Her baby is about a week old, born at 32 weeks. She doesn't want a Depo shot now because she will have to worry about coming back in three months for the Norplant. She has several other children of varying ages and another pregnancy would be devastating for her. I think the family doctor (who is totally committed to breastfeeding) agreed to implant the Norplant at four weeks. Exactly how much do the hormones affect the milk supply, and how difficult would nursing be if the hormones are given earlier? Michelle
