Plan B (Levonorgestrel)
Plan B (emergency contraception) is safe during breastfeeding. It's a high-dose progestin that won't harm your baby and doesn't significantly impact milk supply. Consult your healthcare provider.
Plan B contains levonorgestrel, a progestin. Progestins are considered safe during breastfeeding. The high single dose may cause a temporary, minor change in milk taste or composition for 8–24 hours. Some providers suggest nursing just before taking Plan B and pumping and discarding milk for the next 8 hours as an extra precaution, though this is not required. It does not disrupt an established pregnancy.
Always confirm with your doctor or lactation consultant before making dietary changes while breastfeeding.
