My patients are not prescribed such contraception until their 6 week postpartum checkup. With the experience described of a drop in milk supply when the mini-pill was started a few months after the initiation of lactation, one has to wonder if there is a "window of opportunity" in some patients. Maybe some patients can't be started too early nor can they be started too late, say, after 10 or 12 weeks. I'll be going nomail in about 24 hours because I'm leaving for Washington to attends LaLeche's Annual Physicians' Seminar. Maybe I'll see some Lactnetters there!......V. Nichols-Johnson, MD
