I have  heard that the best way to make sure that Depo won't impact a 
mother's milk  supply is to wait the 6 weeks, then she takes the 
progesterone-only pill for  one month.  If that has no negative effect on her milk supply, 
then Depo  should also be fine.  You can stop taking a pill, but you can't 
stop the  shot once it's in
~~~ This is well-matched with the Infant Risk site info, and makes sense. I 
 have still seen problems though with two or three moms who stopped the 
pills,  and their supplies had already tanked by the time they called me. Even  
after stopping the pills, they never rebounded. Very sad. I did suggest 
that if  they wanted to, they could report this to the website on adverse 
effects. At  least that's something...
 
Peace,
