During breast feeding , the periods become irregular.
Also if baby is exclusively breast fed than there is no ovulation and hence provides contraceptive advantage .
But if you feeding your baby mixed feeds than you might conceive .
Hence it is essential to use additional contraception like progrsterone only pill.
