Since my article talks is about how lactation can provide a short term form of birth control after the birth of a child, I want to go deeper into the biology behind how lactation delays the return of ovulation; therefore preventing pregnancy. I also want to see if there is any data that shows a connection between breastfeeding and a longer duration between child by comparing duration of breastfeeding and time between pregnancies in multiples regions around the world.

copied from Lactational amenorrhea
Return of fertility Return of menstruation following childbirth varies widely among individuals. A strong relationship has been observed between the amount of suckling and the contraceptive effect, such that the combination of feeding on demand rather than on a schedule and feeding only breast milk rather than supplementing the diet with other foods will greatly extend the period of effective contraception. The closer a woman's behavior is to the Seven Standards of ecological breastfeeding, the later (on average) her cycles will return. Average return of menses for women following all seven criteria is 14 months after childbirth, with some reports being as soon as 2 months while others are as late as 42 months. [citation needed] Couples who desire spacing of 18 to 30 months between children can often achieve this through breastfeeding alone.

Although the first post-partum cycle is sometimes anovulatory (reducing the likelihood of becoming pregnant again before having a post-partum period), subsequent cycles are almost always ovulatory and therefore must be considered fertile. For women exclusive breastfeeding ovulation tends to return after their first menses after the 56 days postpartum time period. Supplementing nutritional intake can lead to an earlier return of menses and ovulation then exclusive breastfeeding. Nursing more frequently for a shorter amount of time was shown to be more successful in prolonging amenorrhea then nursing longer but less frequently. The continuing of breastfeeding, while introducing solids after 6 months, to 12 months were shown to have an efficiency rate of 92.6 - 96.3 percent in pregnancy prevention. Because of this some women find that breastfeeding interferes with fertility even after ovulation has resumed.

The Seven Standards: Phase 1 of Ecological Breastfeeding Phase 1 is the time of exclusive breastfeeding and thus usually lasts six to eight months. HRBreaze (talk) 04:30, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
 * 1) Breastfeed exclusively for the first six months of life; don’t use other liquids and solids, not even water.
 * 2) Pacify or comfort your baby at your breasts.
 * 3) Don’t use bottles and don’t use pacifiers.
 * 4) Sleep with your baby for night feedings.
 * 5) Sleep with your baby for a daily-nap feeding.
 * 6) Nurse frequently day and night, and avoid schedules.
 * 7) Avoid any practice that restricts nursing or separates you from your baby.

Peer Review
The first part of your article needs to be checked for spelling with how it's supposed to be capitalized(Return of fertility Return). There should be a comma after although in the second paragraph, as well as a better transitions if possible between the data. I liked in the article of how you stated the 7 standard practices. You did a great job on staying neutral and appearing without emotion as well as bias in the added parts of the article. Lastly, I thing you could better organize the 7 standard practices in rater than bullet points it should neater if placed in a table or in their own section.-- Peer edited by Maalikib (talk) 05:29, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

I like how you included the seven standards of breastfeeding. You do have a couple of spelling and grammar errors so I would go back through and reread again. You did a good job of not being bias throughout the article and getting straight to the point. i would maybe try to come up with a better hook. perhaps you can add some statistics if there are any about lactation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Viviansayavong (talk • contribs) 02:00, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
