Breastfeeding starts
just after a woman gives birth to a baby. Baby feeds on her mother’s breast
milk. This brings many hormonal changes in a woman’s body and thus helps
prevent unwanted pregnancy. During breastfeeding, some hormones are not
released inside the body, which are necessary for ovulation (release of a mature egg from the Graffian follicle to the fallopian tube where the egg meets a sperm and fertilization takes place).
Now the question is how
effective is breastfeeding in preventing birth control? It has been found that
less than 1 out of 100 women get pregnant who practice continuous
breastfeeding. However, this method is effective for about 6 months from the
date of delivery. In addition, it is also important to note that breastfeeding
does not protect individuals from sexually transmitted diseases.
Many women after delivery
start breastfeeding to their babies. If a woman finds it difficult to
breastfeed then she can take the help of a doctor, or a nurse. The main
advantage of using breastfeeding as a birth control method is that it is safe;
and it has no side effect.
