Effects of Breast Feeding on Sex
Not only breast feeding but the whole process of pregnancy, delivery and then bringing up the child takes its toll on your sex life. You and your partner need to discuss your feelings and also prepare yourself mentally. Both of you need to be patient. It takes a while for your hormones to adjust. Talk about it with your doctor because awareness will help both you and your partner take practical decisions.
Although breast feeding is not a sexual experience but the fulfillment it offers can make some women not interested in sex. Feeding the baby all the time can make the breasts of a woman very sensitive to touch. In fact it can be painful at times, decreasing the desire to have sex.
Breast feeding makes the estrogen levels low. The imbalance of hormones can make the vagina dry, making sex very painful. You can ask your doctor for a lubricating cream or even buy it from any medical store. Indulging in more foreplay also helps. Whether or not you are having sex, try to maintain the connection by hugging and kissing each other.
Breast feeding can make love making very messy. Oxytocin is the hormone which stimulates milk ejection during nursing. Sexual orgasm also releases this hormone which makes your milk leak or spray. Keep the towel handy to catch the flow or nurse the baby before having sex.
Be prepared for your baby to interrupt you in the middle of your love making. Instead of getting frustrated just nurse the baby or attend to his needs and carry on where you have left or you can plan a day by asking somebody to baby sit and enjoy a few hours with your husband like old times.
Remember, sex is a very important part of a relationship. Hence, make sure you figure out a way to keep the sparks alive.
