Has breastfeeding stolen my mojo?

[herbaceous]

Hi all

I'm partially breastfeeding my 7mo, and am thinking of winding it down, partly because I'm pretty sure it's ruining my libido.

I know the hormones can mean a certain 'lack of moisture', but can they also mean a total lack of desire too? It's not that I don't fancy my partner, I just don't fancy sex, at all, with anyone. If George Clooney and Jake Gyllenhaal were offering me a threesome, I'd say no ta and have a cup of tea.

It might be partly because DS is still in the same room as us, but I find sexual contact - particularly regarding the boobs - at best ridiculous and at worst actively unpleasant.

Any advice?

Same here- couldn't bear to my breasts being touched - just felt all wrong! Within 2 weeks of stopping feeding I was back to normal. Am 35 weeks with number 2 and am dreading the feeding bit again.

oh yes breasts have only just come back in as being acceptable to touch and that won't last long

I've been blaming it on the tiredness rather than the bf... After DD1 I was "back in the saddle" after 6 weeks. DD2 is 7wks tomorrow & I can't even be bothered to think about it.

I'm sure it would be bearable ok given a good nights sleep & a glass of wine, but like someone said earlier, it's such a waste of good sleeping time!
