I didn't (phew) - though I think lots of that was down to my DD knowing the rules about how to make it work better than me. I knew she has to be EBF and less than 6 months old. And that my periods had to have stopped. I did try to give her a bottle (of painfully expressed milk) but she turned it down. Wouldn't take a dummy either. Since then I've heard that expressing and dummies can stop bfding working as contraception - she's a clever girl.
The thing is some people are treating me like a crazy person for ever using lactational amenorrhea method (LAM). So I'm getting nervous of telling people about it, even though there's load of evidence.
If you did get pregnant, how old was your baby and were you following - or aware of - the rules for making it work as contraception?
Thank you!
