Totoo bang safe tayo basta nagpapadede mga mommies?
Lactational Amenorreah Method (LAM), or the exclusive breastfeeding method of birth control, is the natural postpartum infertility that occurs when a woman is not menstruating due to breastfeeding. (Source: www.kellymom.com)
Exclusive breastfeeding by itself is 98% effective in preventing pregnancy as long as ALL of these conditions are met:
1. Baby is less than 6 months old
2. Your menstrual periods have not yet returned
3. Baby is breastfeeding on cue (both day & night), and gets nothing but breastmilk or only token amounts of other foods.
You can achieve higher effectiveness by practicing ecological breastfeeding:
* keeping baby close
* breastfeeding on cue (day and night)
* using breastfeeding to comfort your baby
* breastfeeding in a lying-down position for naps and at night
* using no bottles or pacifiers
Though rare, it is still possible for a nursing mom to become pregnant while she is breastfeeding and before she has her first menstrual period. When in doubt, it’s safe to have a back-up contraceptive method.

Ang Lactational Amenorreah Method (LAM) o ang exclusive breastfeeding na paraan ng birth control ay ang natural na ‘postpartum infertility’ at mabisang contraceptive method (98% effective) kapag na-meet natin ang LAHAT ng mga kondisyong ito:
1. Wala pang 6 months si baby
2. Hindi pa bumabalik ang period mo
3. Baby is breastfeeding on cue (day & night), walang ibang nakukuha kundi breastmilk, at katamtaman at unti-unting pagbigay ng piling pagkain/solid food
Mas magiging epektibo kapag nagpapadede tayo on demand (ecological breastfeeding):
* Magpasuso ‘on demand’, araw at gabi
* Panatilihing malapit si baby
* Magpadede para i-comfort si baby
* Huwag gumamit ng mga pacifier o bote
Kahit bihira, maaari pa ring mabuntis kahit hindi nagpapadede at hindi pa bumalik ang period. Kapag hindi sigurado, mainam na magkaroon ng back-up contraception.
