Abstract
This session explores the use of natural family planning during breastfeeding and the operational ization of the research findings related to the breastfeeding-natural family planning interface into training programs. Worldwide, the vast majority of women breastfeed their infants; in many countries breastfeeding continues for several months. Studies show that women learning natural family planning during lactation, particularly those whose menses have returned, have an increased risk of unplanned pregnancy. Altered hormonal levels may make interpretation of the signs of fertility return (mucus, and so forth) difficult during this time. The lactational amenorrhea method may be a useful adjunct to natural family planning training.
