It is probably the most normal thing in the world that after giving birth, you don´t feel like having sex. There are quite a few reasons for that, one is that your body is simply "telling" you in your subconscience not to have sex because it´s not ready for another pregnancy - and when it comes to that, our bodies are still in the stone age and know nothing of contraception. ;)
Your libido will come back automatically, don´t worry. It certainly helps if the baby´s father is there to help you out and take care of the baby as well, cause STRESS is another one of the many reasons that causes young mothers to lose their libido. Your body focuses on taking care of the baby and being a mother, cause that is the most important thing now. Which means your body automatically cuts down "functions" that are not as important right now - your libido being one. :)
ps: Cong. on the baby. ;)

It is normal. You just had a baby, your body went through a lot. Give it time to adjust back to normal. That and keep in mind that if you are breast feeding, you still can get pregnant, so make sure you use birth control, unless you want another baby right away!

Completely normal. It will come back when you and your body are ready to conceive again.
Something that might help is getting your partner more involved in caring for the baby. Especially getting up at night.
Not only will it give you the chance to rest, but it will wear him out and lessen his sexual urges so that your energies are more equal in that area.

It is normal.Have your partner be more involved with the tasks so you aren't so burnt out & create a romantic mood before "plunging into the sack."
