Spooning while nursing

Hope the OP doesn't mind
Does anyone want to continue the discussion?

If you don't want to you don't have to, no one is going to force you.

I've done things I bet many people would think was weird, I know people who've done things I've thought was weird (or been jealous of!) There's no rule anywhere that says we all have to have the same comfort levels in things. I've never combined the two activities, never been something that's come up but I can see how it would and don't see the problem if people choose to do it or a problem with the people who choose not to.

Well obviously there's no point in us talking about it any more as we have fundamentally different views on the subject. I can't believe that you can't see the difference, but that's the way it is, so let's agree to disagree.
FWIW, I am all for BF (DD is 14 months and still going strong) and I have no problem with the idea of co-sleeping, though I'm not interested in doing it myself, couldn't anyway as DH still smokes (yuck).

Because after losing a member of my family to cancer only last month and have witnessed exactly how much chemo affects the body - I am pretty sure no one going through it would be up for a spot of breast feeding their husband! (obviously I can't speak for everyone!)

And Freud would be spinning in his grave if he read this thread!

btw with regards to those who asked if you would bottlfeed and have sex at the same time, i said no as i wouldnt bottlefeed lying down but actually the advice given by HV etc is NOT to bottlefeed lying down, its not safe for the baby, choking hazard etc, and unlike bfeeding where the baby will be lying on their side to bfeed in bed, a bottlefed baby would be on their back and they dont necessarily have the ability as a bfed baby does to just unlatch and pull away.

to me (having done both) bottlefeeding is just more involved, you need to be properly awake and to hold your baby, bfeeding can be done easily laying down and when asleep, dozy etc and the baby (or mine anyway) would latch on/off when they felt like it throughout the night and i wouldnt even notice.
