About: Breastfeeding and fertility

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

Fertility while breastfeeding is controlled by the hormonal effects induced by breastfeeding during the postpartum period. Hormones associated with lactation and breastfeeding can inhibit processes necessary for conception. Because of the high variation of this process, breastfeeding is not recommended to be a method of contraception by medical providers, although correct use of breastfeeding as contraception, termed Lactational Amenorrhea Method (LAM), is as effective as hormonal contraceptive pills for the first six months after birth.
