I wish to get pregnant soon and so I reduce the number of times I breastfeed with the hope that this will enhance my becoming pregnant because I think that secretion of breastmilk might disturb ovulation

Um, if you wanting that, why not wean the baby? It isn't really recommended that you breastfeed while pregnant anyway.... You know nipple stimulation causes uterine contractions.
Anyway, good luck

Yes, usually if you brestafeed 5 to 6 times, your ovulation stops almost complete, but you can still get pregnant, as this does not work with all women. The homon which is released while breastfeeding avoids the ovulation. When you start giving solid foods to your baby and breastfeed less, the chances to get pregnant are of course higher. Do not start dolid food before 6 month thoug... or give formula instead of breastmilk, actually meds will recommend to stop breastfeeding if pregnant.

Breastfeeding produces a chemical that causes no eggs to be released. You need to stop breastfeeding in order to get pregnant. You can become pregnant approx. 1 month after stoping although for most people it takes 2.

For some women, breastfeeding is a great form of birth control. For others, it is not. It just depends on your body. If you are getting regular periods, then you can get pregnant, whether or not you are breastfeeding. I have one friend who did not get her period back for almost two years while she was nursing, and another who was pregnant by the time her nursing baby was six month old. It just depends on your body.
good luck!

first of all, how old is your baby? you know that the sooner you get pregnant after having a child, the worse it'll be on both your body and the new child...you're body isn't made to reproduce fast and soon like that...you need to give your body a chance to heal...
