Sentences with phrase «contraceptive effect of breastfeeding»

Not exact matches

Breastfeeding also has a contraceptive effect (though post natal women should be cautious about using this as a sole means of contraception if they are not yet ready to conceive another baby as it is not foolproof and in most cases only works for those feeding at least every three hours, including night feeds).

Factors examined as potential confounders or effect modifiers included age (at breast cancer diagnosis for cases, at time of study enrollment for controls), age at first birth, number of children, birth of a son, history of breastfeeding, miscarriage, abortion, oral contraceptive use, smoking status, age at menarche and number of cell equivalents tested for detection of FMc.
