I haven't read the complete Sci.Am article yet, but what my first scan
through pickup up wasn't the claim that Nursing was a fully *reliable*
form of contraception.  The claim I saw was that it has
(statistically) a substantial contraceptive effect, and that this is
very significant from a demographic point of view in "developing"
countries where there has regrettably been a trand from breat-feeding
to bottle feeding.
