Our Advice
Having sex while you are bleeding raises your chances of getting an infection. Remember, you will need to use some type of birth control if you do not want to become pregnant again.
Breastfeeding is not effective for birth control even if you have not gotten a period. If you have any questions about sexual health after giving birth, please talk to a medical professional. For more information on sexual health, please visit (link to sexual health page).

Some mothers produce less milk the first week they return to work, due to the stress and changes in schedule. If this does occur, your milk production should increase with frequent pumping sessions. Keep breastfeeding your baby as often as possible when not at work.
