A couple is thankful for taking our natural family planning classes where they heard how to space their children using only breastfeeding. The note below was sent to a couple who taught their class.
“We took NFP classes from you and your husband about twenty years ago. We have eleven children—thanks be to God! You sold us on ecological breastfeeding and it’s all we used. Our oldest is 26 and our youngest is 3. Thank you both!”
The couple who taught them told us: “She reluctantly came to the NFP class expecting a newborn any day. It was her second child (and final child, she said!) I convinced her to breastfeed this infant, but she thought of herself as a career woman who would be going back to work in 6 weeks. Well, obviously she followed the advice and found a blessing in it.”
