Birth control and nursing

2018-09-15 21:07:21
I just got prescribed isibloom birth control , but I still breastfeed. My child is 15 months old and I really just nurse around nap time and in the middle of the night. Do I have to stop nursing while using this birth control?

Better avoid breast feeding while on ethinyl estradiol. If passed unchanged through milk to the baby , it may cause fusion of epiphyses and reduction of adult stature. Do not start, stop, or change the dose of any drug without checking with your doctor
