Breastfeeding 14mo and morning-after pill

I took the MAP this morning after a condom mishap with DH on Saturday. I told the chemist I was breastfeeding, but she didn't say anything about it. So after having taken it, I breastfed DS as usual for the rest of the day, which consists of 15 mins before nap and 15 mins before bed.

I'm only just getting round to reading the packet instructions (I know, I know, but in my defence the chemist did tell me to take it immediately!), and it specifically says not to breastfeed for a week!

I know DS isn't a newborn, or particularly dependent on my milk as food, but it's our special time each day where we're alone and cuddly.

So my question is twofold: Has breastfeeding him today had any effect? Should I take him to the doctor? And how do I go about settling him to sleep (not fed to sleep, but fed to drowsy), without breastfeeding?

DH not around for either naptime or bedtime. I can express after he's gone to sleep anyway to keep up supply, but I just don't know how I'm going to persuade him to settle without it Sad

And I'm terrified he'll not want to start up again after the week. Sad

Which morning after pill was it. Levonelle seems to be ok while breastfeeding

I'm in Germany, and it's called ellaOne. It's also called Ulipristal acetate in English, according to Wikipedia.
