I don't like my husband messing with my nipple for anything over a minute. I don't know why, but it just kind of irritates me. My husband thinks somethings wrong with me, and we are discussing children...but I am not sure I will be able to handle breastfeeding. Does anyone out there relate to this, and if so did you breastfeed?

maybe u just have really sensative nipples, which is deffiently not ab-normal some people do, breast feeding does hurt but im sure u can still do it.

Whoa. They are TOTALLY different scenarios. Yes, I can relate (sometimes I love it, sometimes it irritates the crap of out me), but I didn't have any problems breastfeeding my girls. It's completely different.
Give breastfeeding a try. I'm not fanatical about it or anything, but it IS better for baby, and it's much better on your budget! Formula costs a fortune. If you do end up having problems breastfeeding, it won't be because of the issue with foreplay.

my friend has 2 kids and she isnt big on foreplay of any kind..shes a wam bam thank u ma'am kinda girl lol we used to joke with her that she couldnt breastfeed or give birth cuz she doesnt like anyone being in those areas and she breast fed both kids and was fine with it. from what she described its a natural instinct and it didnt bother her because feeding the baby was different then when the father wanted to do that..thats totally normal by the way..not all women like that kinda thing..kinda like oral..i know alot of girls who hate receiving it!! now on the other hand if u meet a man who doesnt like getting it then call a doctor because that is NOT normal haha good luck

I think you need to just change your mind set when it comes to breastfeeding. Your breast will not be there for your husband's enjoyment, they will be there to feed and nourish your baby. Once you see that it is an amazing thing that you can feed your baby without giving him/her chemicals and "fake" food, you will become more comfortable with your breasts. That is what God made them for ultimately, it's just a bonus for your husband to "mess with them" on occasion!!LOL

well i had similar issues and i chose not to breast feed not because i don't like my partner messing with them it just did not come naturally to me when i gave birth i preferred bottle feeding
but at the end of the day you don't know how you will react until your in that situation you may find it comes natural to you or not its no big deal if you go for bottle feeding

don't worry. nursing is different.
and i would suggest that the reason it irritates you when hubby does it is because you are not sexually aroused.
you will be able to breastfeed.
even if it hurts, moms do it for the good of their baby.

try, and if you dont like it, maybe you could just pump instead? still getting the nutrition from the breast milk

You need counseling to get over this issue. Your husband is right -- that is not normal. There may be something in your past that makes you uncomfortable with it, that you have totally blocked out of your mind.
