Intensely lactating mothers do not generally conceive. Why?

Answer 1

Breast feeding is one of the natural contraceptive methods. It reduces the chances of concieving by affecting the production of certain reproductive hormones. It suppresses the production of Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GRH) and Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH). It also secretes increased level of prolactin, a hormone that inhibits ovulation.
