How do I use the lactational amenorrhea method?
Lactational amenorrhea means that you do not have a menstrual period or ovulate while you are breastfeeding. You may only use this method if you are breastfeeding, and your infant is not taking any other foods or formula. You must breastfeed at least 8 to 10 times per day, with no more than 6 hours between feedings if you do not want to get pregnant. You should not use this method of birth control if you are not breastfeeding this often, if your infant is taking other foods or formula, or if you begin to have menstrual bleeding.
