depends on the strength of the hormones in the bc pill.

when this one was breastfeeding drs lowered her pills hormone level so she has 2 sets of irish twins now,lol.but then again lactating has never been a problem for this one.

PS hope you were able to find some sites on lactation

Progestrone(sp?) only birthcontrol pills are safe for nursing mothers [thats what they suggest women take if they want to nurse and go on birth control pills], so it should not be that big of a deal to take progestrone only pills and induce lactation. I nursed for a year, and was on birth control pills adn my munchkin was fine, it did nothing that would affect the amount of milk I produced, it just kept me from getting pregnant.

I have a few sites on my favorites list, if I can find them, I willpost them up, they are on induced lactation, maybe someone will beat me to it and find them before I do, butif you want to lactate and be on the pill, it HAS to be progestrone only.
