Breastfeeding

Def a TMI question, but will ask re: sex & BF'ing+

When it comes to getting intimate, how has BF'ing come into play?  I didn't BF my other children long enough to know, but would like to make it work w/ our last child.  Just curious how that was, you obviously have to wear a bra, right?  You would be leaking all over the place.....sorry I know this is a terribly personal question, but had to ask.

  • Once my supply regulated, I didn't leak at at all-even during sex so it's never really been an issue ;)
  • How long does it take to regulate?

  • I also did not have a problem with leaking.  Sometimes I wear a bra, sometimes not.  DH generally avoids that area because they can be sensitive.
  • Now that my supply had regulated I don't leak. Sometimes I wear a sleep bra and sometimes I don't. My nipples are very sensitive though because of BFing so for the most part I don't let him touch.

  • I wore a bra for awhile. My breasts were off limits at that point. Then I was less sensitive and less nervous so I stopped wearing the bra and he could access them again. It hasn't been a problem. I've never leaked during sexy time and I still breastfeeding my 2.5yo and am 16 weeks pregnant.

  • Thank you for asking the question I've been wondering the same!!!!
  • I am more comfortable with keeping my bra on as I do not enjoy milk dripping everywhere!  I haven't gotten to the point where I am not leaking, but am hoping that will come up soon.  Also, we use lube to help with any dryness issues and to keep me comfortable during the deed.  
  • It skeevs me out to have anyone touch my breast besides baby when BFing so, unfortunately for my husband, the fun bags are out of commission until my son is weaned. Therefore, I keep a bra on to remind my husband that they are off limits. Sorry-not-sorry.
  • I haven't had much if any leaking but the fun bags are just no fun anymore - completely non-erogenous. And often kindof sore. But dh hasn't needed a bra as a reminder so I haven't kept one on. LO is 4 months old now ... curious to see if the no-fun situation lasts through weaning or changes sooner. Had better not persist after!
