Unprotected sex!: Breast feeding may indeed inhibit ovulation in some women (particularly in thin mothers or those with marginal stores of body fat), but does not do so reliably. Many women who are breast feeding have become pregnant (some while thinking incorrectly that breastfeeding is "natural" birth control). It is not!

Ask OB first: Nursing while pregnant is not safe for everyone, since it causes mild uterine contractions. Best to check with the doctor who knows your prior pregnancy history before attempting to get pregnant now.
