Unfortunately not. You are much less likely to get pregnant whilst breast feeding, but it is still possible, especially once you start going at least 4hours between feeds (eg: overnight).
Breastfeeding can be an effective method of Birth Control under the following circumstances:
Lactational amenorrhea is highly effective, but there are not many women who meet both of these requirements, so using a back up method of birth control is important. It is possible to conceive before the first period after a baby, so think ahead about methods that will protect you and space your pregnancies without affecting your breast milk.
Breast-feeding can be a good temporary birth control. If breast-feeding has been continuous and exclusive, and no menstruation has occurred since delivery, breast feeding can be an effective birth control. For the first six months breast-feeding can be 98 to 99% effective.
While a breast feeding mother commonly sees her monthly periods stop, nursing is not a reliable contraceptive method. If you are breast feeding and do not wish to get pregnant again, use some type of barrier method. It is best for the health of your nursing child to avoid using the pill or some other type of contraception that uses hormones.
absolutely not, many women have become pregnant while breastfeeding.
Somewhat, but not an entirely reliable one.
NO!NO!NO! Breast feeding in no way is birth control. Just about all species of animals get pregnant while lactating(breast feeding) their young.
Nexplanon and other progesterone methods are safe to use while breastfeeding. The risk of pregnancy is low on Nexplanon, and even lower if you're breastfeeding exclusively and your baby is less than six months old.
Both breastfeeding and the contraceptive implant can prevent bleeding.
The contraceptive implant and the IUDs are the most reliable reversible methods of contraception.
The advantages of the contraceptive implant are the very best, most reliable pregnancy protection. In addition, the implant doesn't require the patient to do anything to get protection.
Breastfeeding only works as a contraceptive the first 6 months and if the baby is not eating anything else. And no birth control is 100% sure so there is as usual a small risk.
It stopped mine entirely. I was prescribed Micronor because it's progesterone only, and I needed an estrogen free product because I was breastfeeding. Being that Micronor comes in packs of 28 with no sugar pills (and no break between packs), it never occurred to me that I should be having a period. Apparently some women do. I just saw my doc two days ago, and she was not concerned that I wasn't having periods. We did switch me back to a pill with estrogen, as they are more reliable and I am no longer breastfeeding.
The contraceptive pill is a very reliable method of preventing pregancy. HOWEVER, being on the pill will not protect you from venereal diseases. You should probably continue to use condoms if you are on the pill unless you are completely satisfied that your sex partner is healthy.
Misoprostol is not a contraceptive.

Find out which form of contraceptive that would work for you, learn how to use it, and then use them right. Forget about counting days or "safe periods" they're not reliable enough.
