could have sworn that back in anthropology 101 they taught us that extended breastfeeding was used to make a woman less likely to get pregnant, not that it stopped menstruation. The two kind of go together, don't they? However, when I was researching various "behind closed doors" topics, I found that breast feeding does delay onset of the cycle, and hence the possibility of pregnancy. Women were aware of this and sometimes used breast feeding deliberately to delay pregnancy. However, my sources said that how breast feeding delays onset of the cycle is not perfectly understood.
