Abstract
The author reports on studies of the relationship between breast-feeding and fertility in Pakistan, the Philippines, and Thailand. "The accumulated evidence suggests that during the first six months of unsupplemented breast-feeding, if the mother remains amenorrheic, then the breast-feeding stimulus is usually sufficient to postpone the recovery of fertility. Breast-feeding frequency alone is not a useful measure of the breast-feeding stimulus in terms of its ability to predict the return of menses or ovulation." excerptKeywords: Asia; Biology; Breast Feeding; Clinical Research; Comparative Studies; Contraception; Demographic Factors; Developing Countries; Examinations And Diagnoses; Family Planning; Fecundity--determinants; Fertility; Fertility--determinants; Health; Infant Nutrition; Laboratory Examinations And Diagnoses; Laboratory Procedures; Lactation; Longitudinal Studies; Maternal Physiology; Menstruation; Nutrition; Ovulation; Ovulation Detection; Pakistan; Philippines; Physiology; Population; Population Dynamics; Postpartum Amenorrhea; Postpartum Women; Prospective Studies; Puerperium; Reproduction; Research Methodology; Research Proposal; Southeastern Asia; Southern Asia; Studies; Thailand; Time Factors
