Breastfeeding Can Be Used as a Form of Birth Control

Abby did not want an IUD. Or any hormonal birth control at all actually because she was like my hormones are still adjusting from this massive hormone shift that takes place when a woman has a baby. We were using alternative forms of birth control once that six week mark happened. The pull out method. And condoms here and there you know. Breastfeeding can be used as a form of birth control it's not a hundred percent effective. It's like 98.5 if it's done perfect, which is called LAM or LAM. So we were doing it pretty close to perfect because I never got my period within six months and I was exclusively breastfeeding.
