Si se pierde una o más de estas tres condiciones, ya sea porque la lactancia ya no es exclusiva, la mujer presentó una menstruación o el bebé tiene más de 6 meses de vida, la mujer puede continuar amamantando, pero ya no está protegida de quedar embarazada. En este caso ella y/o su pareja deben ser orientados para iniciar el uso de otro método anticonceptivo. 2, record 1, Spanish, - m%C3%A9todo%20de%20la%20amenorrea%20de%20lactancia
