More thanks to share!
Thank you for allowing your manual to be downloaded. I plan to make a donation at a later date. I became engaged four months ago, and we are shooting to get married by the end of next year. We are both graduating from college this year, and I want to be comfortable with charting and knowing how NFP works before we marry.
Thank you so much for providing this resource. I am a revert to Catholicism, have recently discontinued ABC and am new to learning NFP and find your no nonsense approach quite refreshing. I will definitely tell all of my friends about this resource. Thank you for providing the charts for free too; that is awesome. It really makes me feel good to help a ministry that is genuinely concerned for others.
The information you offer is such a blessing! And it is such an important subject, I pray that more people will open their hearts to God’s plan. Everything on the website worked wonderfully. And I especially value the free downloads; they provide very good information. Thank you!
I am so excited to email you! I am a convert to Catholicism–I thank God for the many, many blessings and graces that I have received!! Needless to say, I don’t have a Catholic mother, grandmother or auntie to call up about some NPF/cycle related questions. I am 5 months postpartum with my second child. I am ecologically breastfeeding, and have had no return of menstruation. ( I have read the older version of BREAST FEEDING AND NATURAL CHILD SPACING). Anyway, I was literally DIGGING through forums, blogs, etc. on the internet for quite some time when I came across your actual website (nfpandmore). I am soooo thankful for what you and your husband are doing. I was very appreciative that you made available the download version of the manual, etc. I think that your approach is welcoming, educated and balanced. I love that you don’t hide the Catholicism, but also don’t shove it down people’s throats (who may be protestant/secularist). It is a beautiful way of inviting people to practice NFP, ecological breastfeeding and maybe see the beauty of Catholicism.
I have one daughter, 13 months, and hope to have many more. I came across ecological breastfeeding when I was searching to discern God’s holy will when it came to breast-feeding, co-sleeping, etc. with my child. I read Sheila’s books, and am so thankful for deciding to practice natural and ecological mothering. I appreciate your support already and have enjoyed your posts.
Thank you for your excellent books Breastfeeding and Natural Child Spacing and The Seven Standards. I translated “the seven standard summary” (p. 103 & 104) for my wife and for the nun teaching NFP in the hospital where our children were born. What we found in your books, we found nowhere else! (from France)
I’m so glad that you started NFP and More because Catholics NEED to know the truth about ecological breastfeeding, Catholic parenting, etc. Many of the popular parenting practices we see in the United States today (such as cry it out, scheduled feedings, and general authoritarian or un-attached approaches) are actually based upon Protestant theology. So many well-meaning Catholic parents simply do not have the information to know that gentle parenting of our little ones is more in line with the teaching of the Church.
