Solution
Intense lactation in mothers acts as a natural contraceptive due to the suppression of gonadotropins.
Explanation:
The hormone prolactin increases during heavy lactation. Prolactin reduces the pituitary gland’s production of gonadotropins, which include FSH and LH. This acts as a natural way of contraception by preventing ovulation (Lactational Amenorrhea).
