OK to mother's who have breast fed there baby or who are?

Question

Ok I know it's kinda tmi but when my fiance touches or anything to my nipples it makes me really excited some ladies said it wasn't the same after breast feeding. How about you did you get the feeling back or is it gone forever

Answer 1

I am 48 years old and will celebrate 30 years of marriage to my husband on June 25. I have also had 4 children, all breast fed (the youngest 2 for 11 months and 14 months respectively until they self-weaned). My husband and I still have a very active and healthy sex life. In the long-term, breast feeding did not affect the sensitivity of my breasts despite some initial changes when weaning was complete. Part of that is just transitioning from thinking of your breasts as for baby's use to re-thinking of them as for other purposes again. What you have in regards to your relationship with your spouse does change when you have children. When the children are older, growing up and moving on, your relationship has the opportunity to change again. It will not go back to the way it was before children, but it can be just as good, if not better, as long as you take special care when your children are young to nurture your marriage, stay connected, and make time for just the 2 of you without kids.

Answer 2

Think about it like this. At dinner time you have a choice, you can order out. It's so easy! I comes hot, ready made and there's no washing up. OR you could make a wholesome meal from scratch, boy there's alot of work that goes into that but which is better for you? That's what your baby thinks. Breastfeeding is a lot of work! All that sucking for ages and a relatively small amount of milk. Where as the bottle is so easy. Of course he'd choose the easy option. It is HIGHLY unlikely it is anything you are eating and more the fact he has nipple confusion. Make no mistake that you have already begun the process of weaning him to formula. If you keep offering the bottle, he'll be refusing your breast all together soon enough. Yes, breastfeeding is more challenging, but what is the BEST option for you and baby here? Only you can answer that.

Answer 3

To be completely honest for me its not the same since I breastfed. I breastfed both of my girls and It has been a year since I stop and for some reason its just not as exciting. The mood has to be really right for me to get excited off my nipples and before I nursed I was probably a lot like you. Easily excited. It has gotten better over time. I was wondering myself if it was because I breastfed... but if it was I would still breastfeed again because of all the benefits. Hope that helps some.

Answer 4

I don't think that there is any difference - my husband can still get me going by playing with my boobs. There was a short while (maybe a month or two) after I quit breastfeeding that it didn't work - but my boobs were still tender and had milk so it wasn't like he really wanted to play with them. So I would say give it a short while and you both will be back to having fun when he plays

Answer 5

I have breastfed three babies (still am breastfeeding one) and, if anything, my nipples are even more sensitive now than they were before. It is most definitely worth it! Breastfeeding is a wonderful experience for mother and baby.

Answer 6

I have never noticed a difference, even while lactating

Answer 7

i breastfed my daughter and it never felt different to me, i guess i didn't lose the feeling.

Answer 8

it comes back, but it takes a while. I think its worth it, myself.

Answer 9

I don't feel any difference.
