Sex life while co-sleeping

26 replies

WomanWithAHotDogStand · 18/04/2015 09:22

I'm currently working FT and still breastfeeding and co-sleeping with my 2 year old.
They're a high maintenance baby/toddler and often don't go to sleep until 9/10 o'clock, by which time I'm shattered and either want to go to sleep or just have a bit of me time to read and unwind.

My relationship with my DH is suffering as we hardly ever get any alone time together especially for sex. Last night I managed to get baby sleeping in the cot and e really wanted sex and I said no because I had been on the go all day and just felt tired and completely 'touched out'.
I feel readylly guilty and do want to get our sex life back on track but I don't know how, it just seems impossible most days!

I guess this is all part of a larger issue with sleep etc, so there are no quick fixes, but he's quite down about our lack of time together. How can I at least make him feel loved and wanted with what little time I have? (And still get some sleep!)

Sorry haven't seen the latest replies until now!

Yes I guess sex hasn't been top of my list (sadly) since LO was born, what can I say, it turned our world upside down having a baby.

Thanks for all the replies, going to try and get DS out of our bed and into his cot, and earlier.

Sex sex sex that's all I think about! (To paraphrase Terry Jones)
