MOST women do not ovulate during breastfeeding therefore they do not have a period. This is NOT fool proof becuase some women DO ovulate, I was breastfeeding my youngest daughter, did NOT get a period and ended up pregnant with my oldest son when she was 5 mos old. OOPS! As for being extra fertile after giving birth, that's dependant on numerous factors...breastfeeding, your particular fertility, how fast your body reregulates itself.
