Cindy:  Some women are very sensitive to any nursing, but we do know that
nighttime nursing seems to boost prolactin levels and delay fertility more
than day-nursing.  Dr. M. Labbok has done some wonderful work on the
Lactational Ammenorrhea Method (LAM) of birth control/spacing.  In her work
she found that moms usually start menstruating after they have 6 hours
between nursing, and the 95% will ovulate after they have a few 8 hour
spaces, particularly at night.

There are several herbs which can enhance fertility by rebalancing the
body--red clover, red raspberry, nettle, false unicorn, and Dong Quai (aka
Dong Kwai).  Calcium and magnesium are critical factors in conception, as
is vitamin E.  Some women have found that Vitex or Chaste Tree (herb) helps
them conceive.

The other factor is how much body fat this woman has.  If her body fat is
below 16% that may be the reason she is not conceiving.  There are several
products on the market (not in grocery/drug stores) that can be used as
mini-self-contained microscopes to examine the saliva and cervical mucous
to determine if a woman is ovulating.  Email me privately if you want more
info on these (no, I do not sell them, but know where to purchase them).
WarmLLLy,
Chris
