Extract

One of the major goals of health programmes in the developing world is to improve maternal and child health. Two important steps towards achieving this goal are the promotion of birth spacing and the promotion of breast-feeding. Since birth spacing requires some type of fertility control measures, modern contraceptive programmes are becoming an integral part of maternal and child health programmes. The next logical question would then appear to be, ‘What are the appropriate contraceptives, particularly among the modern methods, for use during lactation ?’
