Breastfeeding sexual?

Question

Okay ladies not looking for judgement !! I'm due in August and I'm having a really hard time wrapping my brain around breastfeeding and the sexual aspect.

My mind is warped into thinking its sexual and only for my man during intercourse and foreplay ( I enjoy it very much )

I know I will give my baby the colostrum as I know it's good for the baby but I'm just not sure how I'll feel long term about it ! Anyone else feel the same as myself and have a total change of heart ?

Any input is appreciated !

Answer

The way my man sucks my nipples is completely different to the way my baby does, and it has never once felt sexual or good while I'm feeding bubs

Answer

Breastfeeding definitely does not feel sexual

Try have an open mind and give it a try for a few weeks if you still feel that way then you can stop.

I think it's very sad that people have that opinion on feeding. Hopefully you can experience it and your mind will be changed.

Answer

It feels natural while you're doing it. I actually didn't want my husband anywhere near my boobs when I was first breastfeeding lol. It seems weird because you haven't done it before, but once you do it just feels normal,  at least it did for me (though it was quite uncomfortable the first couple weeks, but that was physically uncomfortable not emotionally)

Answer

Breastfeeding is natural and what your breast are designed to do. We, as a society, are the ones that sexualizes breasts.

I have NEVER ONCE felt a sexual sensation while breastfeeding. The act is VERY different and done in a loving, helpful, FEEDING, way.

Otherwise you're just playing with a mass of tissue and skin.

I'm pro-trying your best. Whatever that may be. If it's 1 day, 2 weeks, 4 months, 12 months, whatever. You tried and gave it your all.

Answer

I understand. I loved breast feeding short term, but I don't want leaky boobs when I'm having sex.

Answer

In the beginning you WILL feel your uterus contract while nursing, though. This is nature's way of getting your uterus to shrink back down to normal size and is very healthy. It can feel similar to the contractions you feel with an orgasm, but not as strong. Just be prepared that this will happen. It does not mean you are some kind of deviant or weird. From your original question I thought this would freak you out the first time you feel it if you didn't know ahead of time. It will go away soon enough, don't let it make you quit. Breast is healthiest for you and baby.
