Breastfeeding as Birth Control
Sometimes called LAM (Lactational Amenorrhea Method)
A natural way to prevent pregnancy after giving birth
Effective, safe, convenient, and free
Lasts for up to six months after giving birth
When is LAM no longer effective?
A woman who chooses to rely on LAM should be advised that the method is short-term (up to six months) and is no longer effective when any one of the three criteria changes.
The LAM user should be counseled to use another contraceptive method for continued protection.
