Does sex affect nursing?

Question - (17 October 2007) 2 Answers - (Newest, 17 October 2007)
A age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I had a normal delivery and my baby girl is now three months old. I'm breastfeeding her and have been advised to do for a year at least. Now my husband wants to have intercourse with me. He has the habit of squeezing and sucking my breasts and nipples during sex. As I'm nursing my child, will the sex with my husband affect my breastfeeding? Will the milk be sufficient for both the child and husband? Is having full intercourse with my husband wearing a condom a safe contraceptive method or should I have Copper-T inserted for better safety?

I am actually 22 this is my sisters account.

deejuliet agony auntIntercourse is not dangerous in the least when breastfeeding and whatever contraceptive you would use anyway will be just fine. As long as he is gentle and doesnt not hurt you or your breasts, perhaps by biting the nipple too hard, then you should be fine. If he drinks a little milk this will not be harmful to him or your baby. The breast is an amazing thing and the more it is nursed the more milk it will produce! That is why you would be able to nurse twins if you had them. Amazing, huh? He may be turned on by the ability to nurse from you, but I think after doing it once or twice he will be bored with that idea and give off sucking on your nipples for a little while. Relax, enjoy and definately breastfeed for at least a year! Good luck!

flower girl agony auntThe condom will be as safe as any other time of wearing it, if you feel comfortable with him doing that to your breasts then thats fine it will not effect you breast feeding in any bad way at all, there should be plenty of milk to go round as the more that is taken out the more is produced.

You just go with what you are happy with.

Take care.xx.
