Yes: Breastfeeding can stop ovulation, but this is highly unreliable.

Yes: Although it is commonly thought you cannot, breastfeeding is not adequate birth control.

Yes: The lack of periods from breastfeeding, called "lactational amenorrhea" works as birth control only if the baby is less than 6 months old, you are exclusively breastfeeding, getting stimulation on your breasts every 2-3 during the day and every 4 hours at night and if you haven't already had a period. This form of birth control is good if all the conditions are met, but still isn't perfect.
