To continue National Breastfeeding Month, we are highlighting a review of breastfeeding attitudes and practices in East Africa. Dr. Liseli James summarized a 2020 literature review published in the International Breastfeeding Journal.
The Fertility Appreciation Collaborative to Teach the Science (FACTS) relies on the generous support of people who understand the need for evidence-based education on fertility awareness-based methods (FABMs).
To kick off National Breastfeeding Month, we are featuring a cross-sectional study that examines the relationship between perceived milk supply and exclusive breastfeeding during the first six months postpartum.
The FACTS elective attracts a broad spectrum of medical students interested in fertility awareness, with a vast range of baseline knowledge of the methods and their efficacy.
For decades, researchers have sought ways to help women and couples more easily identify their window of fertility. They have examined cervical mucus observations, basal body temperature, and urinary hormone measurements to better track women’s ovulation.
More than a hundred years ago, researchers discovered that slight changes in the woman’s core body temperature reflect the various phases of the female cycle.
