Thanks for the info Patti. I can not better understand the physocology of "keep them pregant and barefoot" as some of the older southern gentlemen would sometimes express.

Having been raised on a farm, I should have known that pregancy does not usually occur when a lady is breast feading a child.

Now I understand why many early families had double digit numbers of childen spaced about 2 years apart.
