Sex and breast feeding

Does your BF put you/your OH off sex??? bit personal I know but not had sex since her birth because we both feel wierd about the boobie thing, I am scared they will leak.

It doesn't put me off but I am very concious of my boobs being a) massive and b) leaky! I keep my vest/bra on usually but this morning I was nekkid and soooo worried about leaking! My boobs are also (unfortunately for him) off limits for my hubby! I just don't see them as sexy at the moment!

Wear a bra with pads if you're worried. I find bfing killed my sex drive for a long time but if leaking's all that worries you, keep a bra on.

I find that my sex drive is pretty low. Leaking isn't an issue for me any longer - since Thomas turned 4 months my supply seems to have settled down. And now that he's in his own room we have managed to do the deed once (only the second time since he was born). I think OH's sex drive is down as well because he's not really looking for it.

I find if I reach the big O I tend to leak - we just laugh to be honest. Doesn't help that we tend to have sex eraly in morning so if G has slept thru I am very full!

Uh huh

We've been very into eachother, so it's a bit frustrating that we're both a bit 'um' about whether they might 'go off'

I think your only happy option is to giggle about it.

I'm thinking I might use it as an excuse to get some nice underwear though... kinda gave up on that stuff a few years ago, good reason to bring it back

it really put me off for the first few months, but not so much now.

I think your sex drive is pretty low after having a baby anyways... you tend to be tired and so absorbed in your new baby.... When we started DTD again I did leak at first (and yeah, we just laughed... I mean, it's not gross or anything. It IS just milk!) After 6 or 8 weeks your boobies tend to settle down and you're much less likely to leak anyways
