Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I can understand your concerns.
There is no need of any pill if the female is exclusive breastfeeding and following conditions are met:
Baby is less than six months old (obvious in your case).
Menstrual periods have not yet returned.
Baby is breastfeeding on cue (both day & night), and gets nothing but breastmilk or only token amounts of other foods.
Exclusive breastfeeding (by itself) is 98-99.5% effective in preventing pregnancy.
If you are still apprehensive and above criteria are not met, then she can take ipill (emergency contraception) within 72 hours in intercourse.
Keep your doctor informed about any drug intake.
Hope this helps.
Feel free to ask further.
Thanks.
