Answer:
(a) Breast feeding is one of the
natural contraceptive methods. It reduces fecundity by affecting the production
of certain reproductive hormones. It is known to suppress the production of
Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GRH) and Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH).
The release of these hormones triggern
ovulation. Breast feeding also leads to increased level of prolactin, a hormone
that inhibits ovulation. So, even when a woman ovulates, her likelihood of
conceiving is low if she is breast-feeding.
