You missed a HUGE discussion on this a few weeks ago (check the archives) Go to Google scholar and check Tom Hale, Jack Newman and generally google 'Depo provera + supression of lactation" you will be submerged in information.
Good luck.

My peds attending and ob attendings are in a discussion as to the safe use of

about inhibiting the establishment of breastfeeding. What is ILCA's stand and
research say?
