BF and Mini pill

I know someone that says the mini pill caused her milk to decrease. For those BFing and on the mini pill did it affect your supply? I am EPing and barely pump enough for my LO so I am concerned about any reduction in supply. Thanks.

  • I was on the mini pill after each of my two sons were born.  It did not affect my supply at all.  I was able to breastfeed successfully for over a year with each baby.

  • I have no experience with BF on the pill, but the general consensus is that "the mini pill" does not affect your supply. "The combination pill" could affect it, so is generally not suggested for use during BF. 

     

  • At my breastfeeding support group I was told most people mistake their dip in supply being due to the mini pill when really its the 6wk growth spurt which happen around the same time.

  • No issues for me either!
  • I haven't seen any difference in supply since beginning the mini pill.
