ABM clinical protocol #13: contraception during breastfeeding

Breastfeed Med. 2006 Spring;1(1):43-51. doi: 10.1089/bfm.2006.1.43.

Abstract

A central goal of the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine is the development of clinical protocols for managing common medical problems that may influence breastfeeding success. These protocols serve only as guidelines for the care of breastfeeding mothers and infants and do not delineate an exclusive course of treatment or serve as standards of medical care. Variations in treatment may be appropriate according to the needs of an individual patient.
