I had a baby 7 weeks ago. I have been breastfeeding since he was born and would like to continue to breastfeed until he is 6 months old. My midwife said the estrogen in birth control pills can affect my milk supply. I also do not want a birth control that will cause weight gain...any suggestions?I wanted to add that I have not had sex since having the baby. I only asked the question because my midwife suggested that I choose a birth control at my 6 week post partum visit and I was not prepared to choose one. I have been breastfeeding the whole time and would like to say that I did receive my period...for those who say that it takes longer when your breastfeeding everyone is different. I received my period 7 weeks after having my baby.
