10 Natural Birth Control Methods

5. Continuous Breastfeeding

After giving birth, this method may help you to avoid ovulating for up to six months. The reason this method works is that the hormone that stimulates milk production also inhibits the release of the hormone that your body needs to stimulate ovulation. This method is only ideal for about six months after having your baby. To get the most benefit, you should breastfeed your baby a minimum of six times per day, so about every four hours. Use both breasts during feedings.
