Talk:Lactational amenorrhea

message: To me, that implies that women who use LAM must intend to get pregnant again.  It's reminiscent of Catholic literature I've read that encourages babies every 2-4 years if possible.  When actually LAM can be used by women who intend to use a different contraceptive method after LAM expires, possible indefinitely.  Perhaps we could use wording such as 'avoiding pregnancy' or 'reducing the likelyhood of pregnancy' or something? Lyrl 19:06, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Let's all work on reaching a consensus for a new infobox to be placed on each individual birth control method's article.  I've created one to start with on the Wikipedia Proposed Infoboxes page, so go check it out and get involved in the process. MamaGeek (Talk/Contrib) 12:18, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Note discussion at Talk:Birth control#"pregnancy rate" rather than "failure rate" re replacing occurrences of "failure rate" with "pregnancy rate".  I would also like to see the same change on this page.  Please make any comments there.  --Coppertwig 04:02, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

message: How does the Catholic Church feel about women prolonging breast feeding and encouraging lactation afterward specifically to prevent pregnancy? 98.28.114.217 (talk) 00:18, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Breastfeeding is strongly encouraged by the Catholic Church, and its effects on fertility are not considered contraception, even if that is one of the motivations for the breastfeeding. LyrlTalk     C   20:54, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Could you provide a reference to back up your statement? In Humanae vitae, Pope Paul VI condemns "any action which either before, at the moment of, or after sexual intercourse, is specifically intended to prevent procreation". I don't think breastfeeding is what he had in mind, but still, his statement seems to prohibit LAM if it is motivated by the desire to avoid pregnancy. I would love to read an analysis of this subject. William Hoza (talk) 20:08, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

message: under the EB section it says that scheduling feeding is incompatible with LAM.  This either means that it is incompatible with Both methods, or either one method or the other.  This should be clarified.173.66.178.90 (talk) 05:10, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  ambiguous statement regarding feeding schedules under ecological breastfeeding section 

message: I think that the most recent edits to the "Ecological Breastfeeding" section make no sense.  Ecological Breastfeeding is a specific system (developed by Sheila Kippley).  It's based on "The Seven Standards of Ecological Breastfeeding."  Someone didn't like two of the Standards, so they removed them, and changed "The Seven Standards" to "The Standards."  The two Standards that were removed were: "Mothers must practice safe co-sleeping as it is the proximity of the child to the mother that increases prolactin"  and "Mothers must take daily naps with their infants."  These were removed and a statement was added that said, "The AAP recommends never cosleeping or bedsharing with an infant due to the increased risk of smoothering and/or SIDS."  This statement doesn't even make sense in the context of the article, since all references to co-sleeping have been removed.  Further, the AAP is the *American* Academy of Pediatrics.  Not all readers of Wikipedia are American, and recommendations about co-sleeping are different throughout the world.  I think if information about Ecological Breastfeeding is included, it's misleading not to present the "Seven Standards."  Whether a statement from the AAP about cosleeping is relevant or not can be debated by others.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by PanCud (talk • contribs) 18:37, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Editing of information about Ecological Breastfeeding 

message: Wikipedia bills itself as "the free encyclopedia anyone can edit" but I have been on the Internet long enough to know that Wikipedia really only accepts edits that are made by registered users. Therefore, I will justify my edits here:
1) The "ecological breastfeeding" section cites three sources. Two are from the "creators" of ecological breastfeeding, making the section fall under WP:NOR. The third is a source covering the definition of co-sleeping, which apparently was an issue in an earlier addition to this talk page.
2) Absent other sources, the section is clearly propaganda for the idea of "natural family planning" as promulgated by the Roman Catholic Church. Such propaganda has no place on a global encyclopedia, except when explicitly called out as such.

thread_title:  "Seven Standards of ecological breastfeeding" 

message: I am interested in adding to the Physiology section in the article on Lactational amenorrhea. I am enrolled in Human Reproductive Ecology at the University of Washington and will be working with other users from my class to improve this article.
I will cite James Wood's chapter on Breastfeeding and Postpartum Infecundability in his book Dynamics of Human Reproduction as well as other scholarly sources to expand upon the physiological aspects of lactational amenorrhea as it relates to postpartum infecundability. Additionally, members of my group intend to add information on evolutionary theory for why this phenomenon occurs and provide additional cross-cultural references for its use as a method of contraception.
I will be working with , , and  to improve this article. --Iridium.iodine.sulfur (talk) 18:44, 24 October 2018 (UTC)

replies: text:  I have added to the Physiology section of this article, including the previous editors' contributions under a heading entitled "Hormonal Pathways and Neuroendocrine Control", and added information from scholarly sources (James Wood's book and journal articles) on the Suckling Stimulus, Lactation and Energy Availability as it pertains to LAM, and on Infecundity as it relates to amenorrhea. Any feedback that could improve the clarity or content of my contributions is appreciated. Iridium.iodine.sulfur (talk) 20:41, 7 December 2018 (UTC)

message: The article Breastfeeding and fertility is about the same topic as Lactational amenorrhea. The proposal is to merge them. As Lactational amenorrhea is better organized and sourced more extensively, it is the better merge target.  --Lambiam 08:38, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
