Breastfeeding and trying to get pregnant

Although I should have weaned my dd a long time ago, i still bf her at night to go to sleep. its maybe for 5 minutes or so and it is not every night as I am really trying to break her from doing that. I wonder if this will interfere with my chances of getting pregnant?

Re: Breastfeeding and trying to get pregnant

Crashing, but I don't think so. Breastfeeding only works like birth control if you do it around the clock, and even then only for 6 months. It might make your cycles a little crazy, but if you're using OPKs or something you could nail down the best days to Chat Icon .

Crashing as well, but I agree. I was still breastfeeding my son when I got pregnant with my 2nd. He was nursing 3 times a day at that point. If you are only occasionally nursing for a few minutes at night, it shouldn't interfere at all.
