Breastfeeding inhibits conception by suppressing the hormones necessary for ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovary). The chemicals that prevent ovulation can be stimulated by a baby's constant sucking. There would be no conception if the body does not produce eggs. As a result, breastfeeding is an effective method of birth control. Lactational amenorrhea is a natural method of contraception that involves regular and frequent nursing.
