In a nutshell: This paper investigated the safety of levonorgestrel (LNG)-releasing and copper-bearing (Cu) intrauterine device (IUD) safety among breastfeeding women. Overall, risks for adverse events for IUD users were similar or lower for breastfeeding women versus non-breastfeeding women. No evidence was found to indicate the CU-IUD use in breastfeeding women influenced breastfeeding performance or infant growth.
