When you completely stop breastfeeding.

Mines gone! I still try and do it even if i dont even feel like it really. But I dont think I`ve enjoyed it since before i was pregnant. i just dont feel sexy, i feel tired, i am thinking about the next thing ill have to clean, cook, feed, wash, dry, put to sleep that I cant get in the mood. I also feel like the more he persists the more i dont want to do it haha. I feel like a little kid and ur parents keep asking u to do something and u dont do it because they keep telling u. I`ve also only ever had TWO orgasms in my ENTIRE life. So I think I`m just like a complete freak.

i have read that breastfeeding has a lot to do with fulfilling certain intimacy needs, obviously not sexual and that sometimes women that are breastfeeding feel a closeness with their child, and feeling so exposed by breastfeeding it changes the sexual relationship with their partner, it is completely normal.

mine came back as soon as i started getting my monthly cycle again... 5.5 months (i was still breastfeeding exclusively)

i really believe that husbands and wives should not (without verrry good reason) turn down sex. so i guess its one of those things where you might not feel in the mood beforehand, but if your partner is understanding, and there is plenty of foreplay, you will get into it :D

I never lost it. I`m EBF our 2 month old and I cried because we had to wait the 6 weeks to have sex. Since then we have sex a few times a week. Maybe it depends on the person?

Mine never left with my 3 I nursed (1 for 2 years, 1 for 19 months and this one is 10 months).

Oh dear, I know what u mean! It took me 5 months pp to let my hubby get intimate with me even in the slightest way. I had NO sex drive. And then another 5 months after that to actually enjoy it like before. Mind u my son is 13 months and I still nurse him altho it`s only like 2-3 times a day and for very short sessions. Maybe 10 min max. But that has definitely made things better for me. Guess what got me into it again? Soft porn. Dh and I were flicking thru channels and started watching it together. And never was a fan of it before LOL but it sure got me going. This was 2 months ago. Now on the days when I just know we`ll be having sex (like weekends for instance) I just try to get into the mood, think about it a lot, maybe even watch a little something together. It seems like I NEED to do all that to actually want sex these days.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
