Suggested revision: Add a probe to LAM in question 301.

Rationale: LAM is the only method with not probe. Some users may know recognize the name, yet
may be familiar with the method itself. Not having a probe probably results in underestimating LAM use.


Specific change: we suggest inserting the following probe
"If a woman's menstrual period has not returned in the first 6 months after her baby is born, she can
avoid pregnancy by breastfeeding frequently, day and night."
