My DD ic currently 9 months and current;y breast feeeding exclusivley.
I am planning on weaning her at 12 months and starting cows milk. I am currently using the mini pill as birth control. I am planning on starting the nuva ring in about 2 months. Is it a problem to be on the nuva ring and nursing 1 time a day and pumping twice. I am going to cut down at 11 months and use up my huge frozen stash

I wonder if your supply problems relate to the mini pill. Many of the moms I see have found that the mini pill affected their supply inspite of what the OB said. If the nuva ring has progesterone in it, that too might affect the supply. I don't think this is a problem for the baby it is mainly a supply issue. You could check out Dr Tom Hale's forum. I have a link on my website www.mybreastfeeding.com You can look at the archives since he is well acquainted with what can impact the milk & how it affects the baby.
