Yes. The Minipill will not affect the quality or amount of your breast milk or the health of your nursing baby. If you are breastfeeding you may start the Minipill 6 weeks after delivery (after your postpartum checkup). The Minipill works most effectively for mothers that are exclusively breastfeeding (not giving your baby food or formula).
