Low libido after having a baby...

Okay so without TMI, I used to have what I'd call a very healthy libido. My husband is very attractive (to me) I find him to be very blessed in looks and I love his personality etc. my libido is just shot and has been since having our son New Year's eve 2013 (so over 1.5 years ago). We still have sex but my drive is gone, goneeee like the wind I say, and I NEED it back.

I've mentioned it every time I've seen my doctor and to my Midwife and they just say "extensive foreplay will get you there". And when we do it, I do get there but I miss being the initiator... I miss wanting to pounce on him as soon as I see him lol. I could have 8 hours of sleep and still feel like my libido left the planet.

Any advice on how to get it back? I'm so sick of having no drive and I'm beginning to think my husband thinks I'm not interested when that is 100% not the case. 😭
