Hello. I went back on the combined pill last week, Microgynon. I raised with the GP whether this was compatible with BF and he didn't think it was a problem at all as DS is now 3 months old and BF is well established.
For the last three days DS has been very unsettled and unhappy, crying as if in pain. I'm not aware of any decrease in milk supply (though I don't know if it would happen within a few days of starting the pill) and his feeding has been more or less the same, certainly at night, but is if anything less frequent in the day. I have to wonder if it's the pill, but the medical evidence that I've read on the hinterweb suggests it should be fine by this stage.
I'm inclined just to come off the pill and see if it makes any difference. Does anyone have any experience of BF and the combined pill? DS is also very fussy about feeding (except at night) just at the moment. Tbh we don't know what to do with him. He's usually been a good napper but now screams the place down when he's put in his cot in the day, and sometimes at bedtime. It's almost like a fear response. Does anyone have any idea what could be going on??
