Help - I need to boost my libido!

[Holymoly321]

Am bfing my 6mht DS2 and have not had sex with DH since he was born. Combination of episiotomy and total lack of sex drive. DH has been fab about this, but six months on he REALLY WANTS SOME SEX! And I would really like to give him some, it's just that I dont' want it. Bfing has def affected my drive and I'm wondering if there are any herbal or otherwise rememedies

I would be a bit wary of taking herbal remedies while breastfeeding, to be honest.
Has the episiotomy healed OK? I ask because mine didn't and I was prescribed vaginal oestrogen cream to counter the lack of hormones while BFing which made a difference. The libido thing is harder, because I think that it's down to being so completely tired all the time, and also getting out of the habit. Would your DH be up for some snogging or massage to help ease you back into things (without him expecting sex as a result)?
I hope things work out for you.
