For how long is breastfeeding a dependable natural birth control?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nursing helps...: If you truly don't want to get pregnant again right away, i'd encourage you to talk to your doctor about a more reliable form of birth control. You'll get some protection if your baby is nursing full time, but women certainly can ovulate while breastfeeding!
