Is it allowed to take I.U.D. during lactation? Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?
It is advisable to insert it after uterine involution has occurred. (6 to 8 weeks after delivery). It may be done in spite of the absence of menses. Most anti-inflammatory drugs or those for general or local anesthesia eventually used on IUD insertion are compatible with breastfeeding. Within the first 6 postnatal weeks of life non-hormonal methods are considered of choice.
