Boobies and sex after Bfing

Sorry if there is too much information in this post but I was wondering if anyone else has been in the same situation as me. I recently stopped breast feeding my DS but while I was BFing my DH pretty much stayed away from my boobs because they were very leaky and every time he touched them it set them off! so now I have stopped feeding, my DH decided to have a bit of a play with them last night Blush but I really didn't like it anymore, it doesn't feel right or sexy. Sex is brilliant I just didn't like that.

My DH isn't massively 'into' boobs anyway so I don?t think it will be a massive issue but I was wondering if anyone else felt the same after BFing and if it got any better? Did you go back to finding it sexy? I didn't think I was going to feel this way.

Yep I did. I really struggled to breast feed with both DC and for a while after I had DD1 I felt really uncomfortable with DH touching the ole thrippany bits lol. It took a while but I got over it.

I fed my youngest until just before her 3rd birthday, hardly let my DH near them in that time because it just felt wrong. Tbh it felt slightly icky up until a few months ago (so that would be nearly a year since stopping) but think my hormones were all out of whack for that time as well! Now it's all good, in fact better than ever. Sadly they haven't regained their former perkiness tho :(

My boobs are now so saggy and empty I'd be embaressed if DH went anywhere near them. He doesn't though so its not an issue.Hmm

thank you for the relpies and I'm glad some of you managed to 'get over it'. It makes me feel that I will too in time.

my boobies dont look very nice now without a bra but that doesnt botter me and I doubt my DH gives a crap what they look like when the bra is off.

I think I just associate by breast with feeding, loving and caring for my DS which is the way its ment to be but now thats over (the feeding not the love ect Grin )I would like to try and think of them in a sexy way.

funny how being a mummy changes you because before I had my children I didn't really think about my breasts in a sexual or non sexual way they were just there.

I think it takes until your nipples feel normal and look a bit more normal, that's how it was for me anyway, takes a while for tingle of breast milk production to go away with touch too
