Brief Answer:
No need to worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concerns but don't worry. I pill has only progesterone hormone which is perfectly safe during breastfeeding. There is no side effect on baby or milk secretions. No need to hold breastfeeding.

Hopefully it will be of help.
Take care
