breastfeeding, HELP!!
hi can anyone who has breastfed tell me how it is for you? good points and bad. i know all the benefits for baby, and am planning to breastfeed this one (my second) and i didnt with my first. id appreciate just finding out from people who have done it, as i dont know anyone who has.a thing i have been worried about (and its a bit embarrassing!) is what happens with sex? for me and my husband my boobs are a big part of sex and i dont know if this would then be weird once i was breastfeeding, cause how do you switch from boobs for baby, then boobs for husband and back again?like how do you make the switch back and forward if that makes sense, or are boobs i bed out of the question til you give up breastfeeding, its just hard to imagine for me/

As for the sex thing, best I can suggest is trial and error & c what works 4 u. Speaking from my experiences, we didnt have much trouble in that way as long as it wasnt coming up to a feed, then it could get a bit wet n messy (sorry! way TMI :lol
My oh is a boob guy too, but seeing them put to their 'proper' use didnt put him off em at all! (Had to remind him to be gentle sometimes tho, cos they were a bit more sensitive!)
Hope this has helped, and good luck with the BF. Its well worth it, believe me!! ;\)
If you do, then im sure you and hubby will manage to work things out.. it might be fun trying to work out the best way for you both. lol

I got really upset when I stopped as I flet like I had failed my baby by giving up but it was just too sore. I am going to try again this time but I have all the stuff I need for bottlefeeding just incase.
My main advice would be that if you want to give it a go then great go ahead but try not to get your hopes up too much just incase.
I hope it all goes well for you
