Hormonal IUD (Mirena/Liletta/Kyleena)
Hormonal IUDs are an excellent contraceptive choice during breastfeeding. They release a very small amount of progestin locally with minimal systemic levels. Consult your healthcare provider.
Levonorgestrel IUDs (Mirena, Liletta, Kyleena, Skyla) release progestin locally in the uterus with very low systemic absorption. They're among the safest contraceptive options during breastfeeding with negligible milk transfer. Insertion can be done immediately postpartum (in the operating room after delivery) or at the 6-week visit. They are highly effective and long-acting.
Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
