Switching from mini pill to regular birth control

Lindsey

So I have been taking the mini pill (progestin only) while breastfeeding. I now want to start taking normal birth control. Right now I’m on my period but still taking the mini pill how do I switch over and when? Will I be protected? Should I take first pill of new pack the day my period ends?
