Many of my friends and readers have enjoyed the natural spacing of births through Ecological Breastfeeding. Many engaged couples who take the NFPI Home Study Course learn about eco-breastfeeding for the first time. Unfortunately, Natural Family Planning International is the only NFP organization in our country that promotes and teaches Ecological Breastfeeding.
Perhaps that’s because many people, even in places of influence, still do not believe that breastfeeding spaces babies. I wrote The Seven Standards of Ecological Breastfeeding for such folks. Each chapter is devoted to one Standard and presents independent research for that Standard. The book is inexpensive and is an easy read. In Cincinnati we give this book free to those who attend the NFPI classes. We encourage you to purchase the book for yourself or for others, and especially for those involved with marriage preparation.
The late Miriam Labbok, a researcher of the Lactational Amenorrhea Method, told me she read the book, The Seven Standards of Ecological Breastfeeding, in one night and took the book with her where ever she went.
