Breastfeeding as Contraception

A free leaflet available to download. This leaflet was developed by by NHS Camden health professionals and women, based on the RCOG postnatal guidance and the WHO Family Planning Handbook.

The RCOG postnatal guidance recommends that breastfeeding women are informed about the method:

• Women may be advised that if they are <6 months postpartum, amenorrhoeic and fully breastfeeding, the lactational amenorrhoea method (LAM) is over 98% effective in preventing pregnancy.

• Women using LAM should be advised that the risk of pregnancy is increased if the frequency of breastfeeding decreases (stopping night feeds, supplementary feeding, use of pacifiers), when menstruation returns or when >6 months postpartum.
