“Hindi ako mabubuntis kasi nagpapadede ako.”
Totoo bang safe tayo basta nagpapadede mga mommies? Lactational Amenorreah Method (LAM), or the exclusive breastfeeding method of birth control, is the natural postpartum infertility that occurs when a woman is not menstruating due to breastfeeding. (Source: www.kellymom.com) Exclusive breastfeeding by itself is 98% effective in preventing pregnancy as long as ALL of these conditions are met: 1. Baby is less than 6 months old 2. Your menstrual periods have not yet returned 3. Baby is breastfeeding on cue (both day & night), and gets nothing but breastmilk or only token amounts of other foods. You can achieve higher effectiveness by practicing ecological breastfeeding: * keeping baby close * breastfeeding on cue (day and night) * using breastfeeding to comfort your baby * breastfeeding in a lying-down position for naps and at night * using no bottles or pacifiers Though rare, it is still possible for a nursing mom to become pregnant while she is breastfeeding and before she has her first menstrual period. When in doubt, it’s safe to have a back-up contraceptive method. #breastfeeding #breastfeedingasacontraception #familyplanning #breastfeedingawareness Source: https://kellymom.com/ages/older-infant/fertility/ —————— Ang Lactational Amenorreah Method (LAM) o ang exclusive breastfeeding na paraan ng birth control ay ang natural na ‘postpartum infertility’ at mabisang contraceptive method (98% effective) kapag na-meet natin ang LAHAT ng mga kondisyong ito: 1. Wala pang 6 months si baby 2. Hindi pa bumabalik ang period mo 3. Baby is breastfeeding on cue (day & night), walang ibang nakukuha kundi breastmilk, at katamtaman at unti-unting pagbigay ng piling pagkain/solid food Mas magiging epektibo kapag nagpapadede tayo on demand (ecological breastfeeding): * Magpasuso ‘on demand’, araw at gabi * Panatilihing malapit si baby * Magpadede para i-comfort si baby * Huwag gumamit ng mga pacifier o bote Kahit bihira, maaari pa ring mabuntis kahit hindi nagpapadede at hindi pa bumalik ang period. Kapag hindi sigurado, mainam na magkaroon ng back-up contraception.
