A member asked:

How do you know i your pregnant when your breastfeeding your two month old baby?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

HPT: The simplest way to tell is a home pregnancy test (urine).Depending on the sample concentration and quality of the test this can turn positive within 2 wks of conception. I would not rely on breastfeeding as a form of birth control.
