3. NFP and Ecological Breastfeeding

August 3rd, 2017

“God didn’t mean for women to become baby-factories, giving birth to a new child every year.  In order that our bodies could recuperate from childbirth and build up strength for a next pregnancy,  He planned that breastfeeding would render us infertile for one to two years.  Why should we bother with foams, artificial devices or the pill?  God’s plan is so much nicer!”

“I first read your book when Lynda had nearly weaned herself.  It certainly makes sense, and I am looking forward to having another baby.  I only wish I had known more when Lynda was a baby because contraception can be such a worry.  I would never go on the pill again.”

“My youngest is almost 18 months old now, and I still have not experienced my postpartum period.”

“My daughter is 14 months old and I am concerned about my continued infertility.  Your book reassured me that rather than being unusual, breastfeeding infertility is natural, normal and healthy.”

In support of breastfeeding during World Breastfeeding Week, I have chosen to quote mothers who have used ecological breastfeeding to space their babies.   The WBW blogs will be short because I like short blogs.  Sheila Kippley

“I weaned the three older boys at 7, 3 and 8 months because my husband wanted me to get back to helping more with the ranch work.  But baby #4 was with me constantly—in a big Allis Chalmers tractor, in the middle of the night during calving, and on a horse moving cows. She weaned at 26 months.  My periods returned at 26 months postpartum.”
