Lactating as birth control.
My "friend" and I were wondering (well, he thinks he knows, but I don't believe him)...
I know a 13f who just had her 5th kid. She wants to keep breast feeding to keep from getting pregnant again. Is this a crock of shit, or does she know something I don't?
Is it valid birth control to prolong lactation?

It is completely possibile toget pregnant when you are breast feeding. Make sure that she is aware of forms of birth control. Hope this helps.

I highly doubt that she has 5 kids and she's 13. Who starts having sex when their 8? Most 8 year olds don't even know what sex is. I mean, they probably do, but not enough about it do acutally do it....

I would just tell her that she is tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo young to be getting into this she could hurt herself and it could lead to death.

A 13 y/o with 5 kids? If she had one child per year she would have had to start when she was 8 years old. She knows absoultly nothing about birth control so don't believe her!
Sometimes breastfeeding can suppress ovulation because of the hormones. However, this is not a reliable method of birth control. It doesn't always work to prevent pregnancy and the Dr's would recommend another method.

It should work. but not for more than a few months. And that requires the milk being released from the breast about three or more times a day for an extended period of time.

It is. But not a very good one.
I say that because the majority of women/girls will not breast feed exclusively and that is what it takes. Until the baby is around 6 months old. After that they start eating a little and once those on demand 24/7 feedings end so does its ability to prevent pregnancy.
If this 13 year old has used this method before...it is obvious it didn't work.
Here is a web site that explains it more. :)
