Brief Answer:
Cu-T insertion is the best option.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I have gone through your query and understand your health concerns ,
During breast feeding, the chances of conception are low during the first three months after a childbirth. For contraception, it is best to get an intrauterine device ( Cu-T/ Multiload) inserted in the uterus as it gives a 99% protection from pregnancy and does not interfere with the breast feeding.
Other options are progesterone only pill- needs to be taken daily or depot provera injection- given every 3 months - But these both can cause an irregular periods.
The last option is the use of barrier method like condom or spermicidal gel like Today- these have a low protection rate. The failure rate is as high as 20-30%.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.

Brief Answer:
I-pill is not safe during breast feeding.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
I-pill is a high dose hormonal pill that will affect the breast feed, will cause irregular bleeding and is not a fool proof method of contraception. Its efficacy decreases considerably if taken after 24 hours of unprotected sex.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
