Hi everyone
I'm back from vacation and I need some help.  Baby is ten months old,
nursing 4-5 times daily.  Mother has been taking the mini-pill but is
experiencing irregular bleeding.  The physician has recommended a
combination pill but has told her that it will "dry up her milk".  She
wants to continue nursing.  For a variety of reasons the only
contraceptives that are acceptable are those that suppress ovulation.
Any ideas?
