Taking birth control pills, nursing and toddler having nightmares?

I have a 2 yr old who is weaning from breastfeeding, she nurses 2 times or so a day. I started in birth control pills last week and this may be a total coincidence, but she's had a night terror and 3 nightmares this week! Any on else experienced this??

    I can't say anything as to the nightmares, but make sure you are taking the birth control pill that "co-exists" well with breastfeeding.

    I was taking birth control while breastfeeding, it was this weak one (I think it only contains one hormone kind instead of two). I can't remember which one it was. Even though you are breastfeeding only occasionally, you shouldn't be taking the full-strength pill, as the hormones do get transferred to your toddler with the milk. Just make sure the doctor prescribing you the pill is aware that you are still breastfeeding.

    Did you rather get on Yahoo solutions ideal after this, if so, we like you!!! i does not concern too plenty if it exceeded off rather a collectively as in the past, meaning greater suitable than 2 hours in the past, she has already have been given it into her device. next, time whilst this occurs take her to the rfile ideal away, if not you are able to loose custody of your toddler via fact the well-being care provider will document comments asserting you probably did not take her to the well-being facility ideal away whilst she replaced into ill. next, element beginning administration pills have side outcomes save those issues out of the attain of young ones! there is not something that would rather be executed ideal now although, yet whilst she's even looking slightly ill over the subsequent 24-40 8 hours she desires to be rushed the the ER. i don't understand what variety of pills you had, yet a number of them are low estrogen and those have much less side outcomes if any in any respect. tell your toddler next time to attend yet another 2 an prolonged time in the previous taking those.

    The hormones can make their way into the milk supply & can effect quality of milk.
