NEW YORK (Reuters Health) — Breastfeeding for the first six months after 
delivery may be an effective form of birth control, according to a study
of 
new mothers in seven countries.

The results support previous findings that suggested breastfeeding
offers 98% 
protection against pregnancy in the first 6 months after childbirth. In
the 
new study, the findings held for women who had other children and had 
successfully breastfed.

The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four
Americans is suffering from some form of mental illness.
Think of your three best friends.  If they are okay,
then it's you.
