Is it true that breastfeeding can be used as a method of birth control?

Question

I had unprotected sex last week,and I'm breastfeeding a 1 month baby...is the any chance of me falling pregnant again even when I haven't got my menses?

Answer

Yes. There is a high chance of you getting pregnant. Women are usually VERY fertile after giving birth.

Answer

Yes it can be used as birth control although it's only if a set of "rules" are followed. And even then there's always still a chance of pregnancy just like there is with the pill etc.

Answer

Breastfeeding is NOT a method of birth control. A very close friend of my sisters got pregnant 3 different times while doing this...don't ask me why she kept using this method! Lol but she did and now she has four beautiful boys!

Answer

Nooooo my sister thought the same thing and ended up pregnant with her third right after her second! Don't do itt hahaha 
Unless you want another of course :) and in that case, have fun! 😊

Answer

No!!! My youngest two are eleven months apart thanks to a father in law that was a large animal vet and assured us that cows didn't ovulate while nursing, so neither did humans. Besides the fact that he compared me to cattle, it was absolutely inaccurate😂 Wouldn't trade my "Irish twins" for the world, though!

Answer

Noo. You may not get your period while breast feeding but you are still very fertile!!! you CAN get pregnant

Answer

Not birth control! My sisters are 10 months apart using the breast feeding as birth control method.

Answer

I've heard that breastfeeding moms have a higher chance of pregnancy because they intake more food but idk
