Good afternoon Doctors. Please is exclusive breastfeeding (baby sucking every 2-3hrs) equal to family planning for the 6months? And period coming almost every 2weeks equal to hormonal imbalance?

Baby was born vaginal delivery and no tears. Is planning to wait till baby is 6months before family planning injection okay?

Baby is months old.

Exclusive breastfeeding is NOT family planning.

Exclusive breastfeeding can protect you against getting pregnant especially if you are not seeing your period but it is not 100% so it is recommended that you use additional form of family planning even when breastfeeding exclusively.

Try and ask your questions as complete sentences so it makes sense.

Please go for family planning when you go for the 6 weeks postpartum check.

The part of the period is not clear and try and read what you wrote and make sure it is meaningful by writing in full CLEAR SENTENCES as we cannot read your mind.
