Brief Answer:
Yes you can use LNG IUCD

Detailed Answer:
Hi Mam.

I understand your concern.

Yes its pretty safe to use LNG IUCD while you are breast feeding your baby.

Before insertion of this IUCD ,its always safe to have a complete scan of your abdomen.

Make sure your review your IUCD periodically by visiting your Gynecologist.

Thank you.
