Does breastfeeding prevent a new pregnancy, if you haven’t had ur periods after the birth yet? Some say no and some say yes, so I am confused.

And what if u do get pregnant by chance, can you nurse your baby during being pregnant with the next one, here again I have heard mixed reviews.

Re: breastfeeding and pregnancy

I wont call it a 'myth'..!!
Its a scientific fact that breastfeeding decreases fertility...its all about the role of hormones ....and teh changes in hormones that occur after childbirth and during breastfeeding...
The thing is that every woman is different so for some lactational amenorrhea may be good thing to space out pregnancies and they can claim that breastfeeding prevents conception and for some women it can just be the opposite...
so,it is very much possible to get pregnant while breastfeeding because it does not totally shut down the fertility factors and all...

Re: breastfeeding and pregnancy

My brother is living proof too :D

Nursing does affect your hormones and cycles, but that doesn't mean you will stop ovulating. In fact, you just won't know when you do! You can definitely get pregnant.

oh yeah, and my cousin was 3 months old when my aunt was pregnant again with her brother.

Re: breastfeeding and pregnancy

Lactation can sometimes affect fertility by suppressing certain hormones that cause eggs to ripen. This happens infrequently and so the confusion surrounding the issue. It doesnt happen often and it doesnt happen to very many. So dont use it as a method of birth control!!
