One of our OB Drs asked me about the current data regarding birth control pills and breastfeeding. He has used the standard combination pill for moms regardless of breastfeeding and found no ill effects in regards to production. He said maybe a transient decrease supply. He also didn't have a lot of good to say about the mini pill. I told him that it was my understanding that the pill containing estrogen can decrease supply and that the progesterone only pill was better for breastfeeding moms, but that even that can leave some moms with a decrease. He wanted some HARD (his emphasis) to back up the decrease in supply of either med. I told him I'd look into it... I will give him what I found in Lawrence too. So what do the collective minds on lactnet have... now remember this guy will laugh at me if I don't show Dr. proof studies.
