Birth Control or No?

Alright, I was talking with my roommate (who is a bio major) today, and we got on the topic of breast feeding. She mentioned that it was a form of birth control. I thought she just meant that in the case where a woman is breast feeding, she wouldn't have sex and voila - birth control. But no, she says that a woman physically can not get pregnant if she is breast feeding. Now this sounds suspect to me. Does anybody know anything about this?

It is still possible for a woman who is breastfeeding to get pregnant...it's just not very likely. So like, if you were breastfeeding, and you really didn't want to get pregnant again yet, using another form of birth control would probably be a good idea, just in case.
