Wanting to BF but scared it will feel sexual,am I alone in this intrusive thought?

[TheScenicRoute]

Does anyone else worry about this?
Someone please reassure me this is purely an intrusive thought.
I can't stand the idea of sexualised and mothering feelings getting mixed up.

I totally understand how you feel and can absolutely assure you that you will not feel that way when it comes to feeding your baby.

I had the same worries, yet had no issues feeding DS and DD.

I am normally very aroused by my OH touching my breasts, but during the 10 months I was breastfeeding I did not get this feeling at all.

Infact I didn't want OH (at the time) to touch them!

They became two very separate uses for my breasts if that makes sense?

Try not to pay it any more thoughts, it really won't be an issue nearer the time.

Breastfeeding is the opposite of sexual.

And fwiw after breastfeeding for a combined 2 years 10 months and counting dh is pleased to report my breasts are "still spectacular". Which is nice

I worried a lot about this before my daughter was born. It didn't happen. I breastfed till she was 20 months old, and it never felt sexual.
