According to a recent issue of the ABA magazine, bfing is considered around 98% effective IF all of the following conditions are met:
- bfing only, ie no formula or solids
- bfing during the night as well as the day
- AF hasn't returned yet
So I guess that is saying that it is not a 98% chance that AF won't return, only that as long as she hasn't, you are very unlikely to fall pg if you are bfing exclusively and giving night feeds.
I think mws and other medical professionals should err on the side of caution with their advice. But sadly I often hear of mws and MCHNs giving incorrect advice. I think we all need to verify what we are told, do our own research and make up our own minds, rather than relying on just one source of information.
