Does immediate postpartum LNG-IUD insertion negatively affect breastfeeding outcomes?

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR PRACTICE?

• Immediate postpartum placement of an LNG-IUD does not negatively affect breastfeeding
• Immediate postpartum placement of an LNG-IUD may be a reasonable and appropriate option for patient populations that are not compliant with postpartum visits or for patients at high risk for short-interval pregnancies
