- You can't get pregnant while breast-feeding. (Though, there seems to be a little bit of truth in there for a certain period of time. But, I personally know three women who have "Irish twins" because they believed this to be 100% true.)

I could go into the entire "Ecological Breastfeeding" thing... y'all probably don't want me to, though.
Here's a link about
Ecological Breastfeeding.
Basically, if the ONLY thing the baby gets is human milk directly from the mother, if the baby is waking up at least once or twice during the night and nursing, if the mother has not started menstruating yet, and if the baby is under 6 months or so, Ecological Breastfeeding will work. BUT, few people actually breastfeed this way (unless you're a Lactation Consultant or in La Leche League or live in a 3rd World Country) Most women supplement, that eliminates EB, most women try to "make" babies sleep "through the night" that eliminates EB, most give babies solid foods WAY before the recommended six months (YES, cereal in a bottle counts big time, as does breast milk in a bottle) these things all circumvent the natural protective effects of Ecological Breastfeeding.
I went a year, not using birth control after the birth of my last two babies, and despite being very fertile, didn't get pregnant, due to using Ecological Breastfeeding. (I did supplement with my first one, so we used BC, but not consistently, and as we only used supplements occasionally the first few months, I still got the protective power of Ecological Breastfeeding, until I menstruated.) As soon as I got that first period, I considered myself fertile, which I was. I got pregnant the FIRST month I menstruated with my first baby, and we had not been as careful as we should have been before I menstruated. It IS a form of BC that works similarly to Plan B. (Things La Leche League won't tell you. Breastfeeding actually not only postpones ovulation but makes the uterus hostile to implantation, just like the Morning After Pill.)
