Breastfeeding & the Mini Pill

[Utopia]

Hi Ladies/Mods.. apologies If i've posted this in the wrong section

Are there any breastfeeding mums out there who take the mini pill?

I thought it was perfectly safe to take till a chemist advised me yesterday it can affect the baby's growth

For some women it works well, for other's (like me) it doesn't. It really messed with my head and milk supply, so I stopped taking it. We were planning 2 babies anyway

i haven't heard of it affecting babies growth, it may affect milk supply, perhaps this is what they meant.

I take and have not had a problem with my baby's growth. She is 7 months and weighed 8.49 kg last time I weighed her (1 month ago). She has always stayed around the 90th percentile on the graph in the back of the baby book.

I've been taking it for 10 months and my boy is freaking huge!

No troubles here

I also took the mini pill and my milk supply was HUGE! It may affect a small percentage of people tho.
