4. The question asks for the EXCEPT criterion for Lactational Amenorrhea Method (LAM) to be successful. LAM is effective when three conditions are met:

   • The mother is fully or nearly fully breastfeeding (day and night).

   Let's evaluate the options:

   • A. Breastfeed fully or near fully with baby breastfeeding day and night: This is a criterion for LAM success.
   • B. Baby is more than 6 months old: This is not a criterion for LAM success; LAM is only effective up to 6 months postpartum.

   • D. Baby is less than 6 months old: This is a criterion for LAM success.

   The correct option is B.
