3 month old baby and no libido at all

Since our first baby was born 3 months ago my DH and I have only dtd twice. The first time we has to stop as it was still too painful but the second time was enjoyable, if still a bit odd feeling down there. The problem is I have absolutely no libido at the moment. I know my DH is very keen (bordering on desperate) for our sex life to resume but the more time that passes the less I want to.
Yes, I'm knackered and its really rather off putting having a 3 month old grunting and flailing his little arms in the cot next to the bed but I just have absolutely no desire. Please tell me this is fairly normal at this point and I haven't suddenly gone off my DH :/
All other aspects of our life are great - we are both loving being parents and he is an amazing father. We are having alot of fun with our gorgeous boy but I feel it's important we get our physical relationship back on track

So relieved to know it is normal! Thanks ladies. I didn't mean to suggest my DH is pressuring me - I think I was pressuring myself as I didn't realise bf could affect me in this way so just expected to go back to normal once I physically felt ready
Knowing hormones have a big part to play means I can relax and stop feeling guilty about not being in the mood - kissing and cuddling is still lovely :)
