Many mothers have been shocked to discover they were pregnant again… while still breastfeeding.

This actually used to be used as a birth control method called the Lactational Amenorrhea Method (LAM), because the hormones involved in lactation provide some protection against pregnancy-related hormones.

However, we have seen again and again, women get pregnant while breastfeeding.

So while breastfeeding may reduce the chances of pregnancy for a period of time, it is not a reliable method of birth control!

Ever heard this myth?
