The hypothesis that the month-specific rate of return to ovarian cyclicity after childbirth is causally related to suckling pattern was tested for a population of New Mexican women recruited within the service area of New Mexico Highlands University and for a nationwide USA subpopulation of women recruited through membership of the Couple to Couple League (CCL). Survival analysis for time-dependent covariates was used, and significant predictors of the first postpartum menses were found. Important differences were detected in the suckling pattern for the two groups and a 5:2 differential was found in their respective rates of menstrual cycle recovery. Although the two groups were comparable perinatally, daily and time-windowed breast-feeding performance fell off at twice the rate for the New Mexico population when contrasted with the CCL sample. For both populations, the introduction of solid feeds was a strong and significant predictor of returning menstrual cyclicity, independent of suckling pattern.

The specific way nursing patterns influence the duration of postpartum amenorrhea is unknown. This may result from the shortcomings of available methods: the daily log and recall. We tested these against a novel method, an event monitor (EM), consisting of a wrist-worn stopwatch that stores events. Exclusively breastfeeding women (n = 11) were assigned randomly to use each of the three methods twice during a 2-week period surrounding Weeks 4, 8, and 12 postpartum. More nursing episodes were recorded with the EM than log during Week 4 (p < 0.03) and Week 8 (p < 0.02). EM captured more episodes than recall during all study periods (p < 0.004). The EM was considered as acceptable and accurate to mothers as the other methods and, therefore, is a useful option for documenting breastfeeding patterns.
