Hi, Thanks for the query. I understand your concern. Primolut N is a product containing synthetic hormonal preparation...It can Suppress milk secretion & babies weight may suffer.,, so it is better avoided during lactation. * Your baby is 14 months & if has started taking vegetable soups, boiled rice food, fruit pulp, boiled vegetables & potato, egg/top feed... he may not be affected by suppressed lactation. In that case... you can take primolut N for postponing your periods( provided you are using some family planning device ) Some how the dose of pills you have mentioned is not as per routine schedule. Please get it confirmed from your gynecologist. Hope you are satisfied with the answer... if you want any more information you are welcome. Thanks.
