Hi all,
   
  Two posts in one...Way back in 1984, when I converted and got married in the Catholic church, my husband and I took a Natural Family Planning course, instructed by a teaching couple from the Couple to Couple League, the organization that John and Sheila Kippley founded.  That was my very first exposure to anything breastfeeding, and obviously it had a profound effect on my life. 
   
  I had been formula fed, had only seen one of my aunts breastfeeding a few times when I was 5 (and everyone thought she was odd - her boys are the "smart cousins" ), thereafter never really giving it much thought.   So,  the idea of extended infertility - without abstinence- was extremely appealing for me and MDH.  That led to reading Sheila's first book on the subject, Ecological Breastfeeding and Natural Mothering.  The course went over a lot of this information as well.  We were so happy with the NFP method, as it actually worked both ways (postponing and acheiving pregnancy) that within 4 years we became CCL instructors ourselves, and taught for many years.  I highly recommend it for many reasons. Thanks Sheila, wherever you are!
