It depends how old your baby is and how you are breastfeeding.
Feeding on demand and co-sleeping with your baby with no substitutes for the first six months is what's recommended to use breastfeeding as a contraceptive by breastfeeding organisations, however many medical practitioners say that this is not guaranteed - but breastfeeding organisations say that nothing is perfect and following those standards it's more reliable than any other form of contraception, including the pill.

Asked in Birth Control
What are the moral responsibilities in guiding parents in the application of natural and artificial family planning?

It is the moral responsibility of parents to protect their
children, birth control/family planning is just another part of the
big picture - you surely wouldn't hand your teenager the keys to
the family car, without teaching them to drive.
Explaining how their body functions should be a natural part of
growing up, the use of contraception (while guided by the family
religious beliefs) should be part of the conversation.
