We do not have alternatives for Diaphragm + spermicide since it is relatively safe.
Suggestions made at e-lactancia are done by APILAM team of health professionals, and are based on updated scientific publications. It is not intended to replace the relationship you have with your doctor but to compound it. The pharmaceutical industry contraindicates breastfeeding, mistakenly and without scientific reasons, in most of the drug data sheets.
Your contribution is essential for this service to continue to exist. We need the generosity of people like you who believe in the benefits of breastfeeding.
Thank you for helping to protect and promote breastfeeding.

The diaphragm is a flexible rubber receptacle that a woman fills with spermicide and inserts over the cervix before intercourse. It is a barrier method of contraception that prevents sperm from entering the uterus. (MedlinePlus 2022)
Barrier methods of contraception are effective and have no adverse effects on the mother, the baby, or breastfeeding. The diaphragm with spermicide is compatible with breastfeeding. (Berens 2015, Amir 2011, FFPRHC 2004, WHO 2002)
For the first 6 weeks after delivery, the diaphragm or cervical cap, should be avoided until the woman's reproductive tract has recovered after pregnancy and delivery and the size may need to be adjusted.
