Usually the pill is pretty low impact as far as nursing goes. The patch, although sometimes recommended may cause light headedness when nursing. An IUD is a good idea though for nursing mothers as it does not impact your milk at all as the others do. They insert it (its tiny) into your cervix (you'll get some cramping at first but otherwise minimal discomfort) and it lasts for 5-10 years depending on what you get. You don't have to worry about forgetting it, or changing your lifestyle to remember it. You also don't have the fear of missing a pill or forgetting your patch.
