>>My thoughts are that if a woman is told that Bf isn't enough to prevent
fertility, then that will actually predict her behavior towards the infant:
pacifiers, early supplementation, less bodily contact,etc, and will hence
affect the choice of BC and even how she bonds with the infant. Just some
observations I've made.

That's certainly true in my case. I took Robbie into our bed at 21/2 months
after reading "Breastfeeding and Natural Child Spacing", which I wouldn't
otherwise have done, as he had started sleeping through the night. Of course, as
soon as we started the family bed story, he woke up as much as he had when he
was younger. I'm sure that reading this book influenced other behaviours of
mine, which, although I initially did them for selfish reasons, became part of
my parenting for their own sake (and my child's).
