I have searched the archives for info about current research on these
two contraceptives.  My take on it is that they are considered safe for
breastfeeding women after 6 wks postpartum, however, anecdotal
evidence shows that they MAY decrease milk supply in some women.
Does anyone have any different or more current *research* on this
issue?
