Breast feeding as birth control?

Tweet

It can be used but it has to be used the right way. You cannot supplement at all with everything. You must feed on demand day and night. Ecological breast feeding works best to prevent the return of fertility. Moms that practice ecological breast feeding cosleep, feed on demand day and night, no pacifiers or bottles usually delay the introduction of solids. I know moms who have delayed the return of the fertility for well over a year using this method. Every women is different and some get their periods back right away even though they feed on demand. Usually you get a warning period first but not always.
