Yes, iPill (levonorgestrel) can be taken while breastfeeding. A very small amount of hormone may pass into breast milk, but it is not harmful to your baby. Sometimes it may slightly reduce milk supply for a short time.
Next Steps
• Safe to use occasionally during breastfeeding.
• If you need frequent contraception, better to switch to safer long-term options. Connect for more options
• Monitor for temporary irregular bleeding or changes in your cycle.
