I am not so sure about the article, but it is shown that nursing can suppress ovulation. However crying 'i well, plenty of moms formula feed and are fertile 6 weeks after giving birth. Also, I personally don't like the use of the word infertile in the article.

semantics, I guess.
When I first saw this article my thinking was not about ovulation at all, but rather mom being so exhausted she might pop dad over the head with a skillet if he even suggested a coupling!
Yes, by nursing, they already have a way to help ensure the proper spacing.
They cry at night because they're hungry, frightened, or lonely. It's completely unnatural for infants of any mammal species to be alone far from parents at night or while they sleep.
Babies in the family bed don't cry at night. They don't keep the mothers up losing sleep. All mammal babies want to snuggle their mothers during the long sleep period.

I guess I was lucky, because my daughter didn't cry at night except at her scheduled feeding times at 11:00 and 5:00. Then when she was 3 months she slept until 6:00 or 6:30. She did cry more during the day though. Especially around 3:00 or 4:00 in the afternoon. Whew! I remember rocking and holding her for a half hour to an hour while she cried and nothing worked.
The breast feeding being used as birth control is a myth. Out of 5 moms I know who got pregnant at the same time, 2 got pregnant again less than 6 weeks after giving birth. Please do not promote that idea. If you don't want to get pregnant use birth control.
How Effective Is Using Breastfeeding as Birth Control?
Effectiveness is an important and common concern when choosing a birth control method. Like all birth control methods, breastfeeding is much more effective when you do it correctly.
Less than 1 out of 100 women who practice continuous breastfeeding perfectly will become pregnant.
About 2 out of 100 women who use continuous breastfeeding will become pregnant in the first six months if they don't always practice it correctly.
Using breastfeeding as birth control can be effective for six months after delivery only if a woman
does not substitute other foods for a breast milk meal
feeds her baby at least every four hours during the day and every six hours at night
has not had a period since she delivered her baby
Keep in mind that breastfeeding does not protect you from sexually transmitted diseases. Use a latex or female condom to reduce the risk of infection.
Also keep in mind that breastfeeding can only be relied on for six months after delivery. By the time your baby is six months old, you should start using another birth control method.
