Can new moms get birth control right after birth without hurting breastfeeding?

NCT ID NCT03978598

Summary

This study looked at whether getting a birth control implant in the first 24 hours after giving birth affects a mother's ability to breastfeed, compared to getting it 4-6 weeks later. Researchers enrolled 150 new mothers who wanted both the implant and to breastfeed. They randomly assigned women to get the implant immediately or later to compare breastfeeding success and other outcomes.
