Breastfeeding and Fertility

In conjunction with the current poll on breastfeeding and the return of a woman’s menstrual cycle, I thought I would list some resources on the subject. The Kellymom.com breastfeeding and fertility page talks about using breastfeeding to prevent pregnancy, the transition to full fertility, and whether or not a mother needs to wean to get pregnant (hint: the answer generally is no). La Leche League offers several articles on breastfeeding and fertility, including one on whether or not it is normal not to have a period when breastfeeding.
I haven’t read these books, but La Leche League recommends Breastfeeding and Natural Child Spacing: How Ecological Breastfeeding Spaces Babies
