Relationship with husband after having a baby

Question

After giving birth to LO my feelings towards my husband changed…. I would not want to touch, hug or even kiss him… it’s been 1 year since anything happen. I’m the main caregiver to my LO I barely get to sleep most of the nights I only sleep 3-4 hours cause I’ll need to latch baby frequently and in the day time I’m the only one to entertain my baby. I don’t know if I’m just way tooooooooo tired or feelings changed…. Kinda worried… sometimes I even feel irritated if he even tries to do anything more. Does anyone feel this way?#pleasehelp #advicepls #firsttiimemom

Oh yes! I just feel like I’m ok with no sex for 10 years. 😂 After birth, I really don’t want to do anything w my partner. My mood totally changed , was so exhausted and caring towards baby. Really need to sleep badly 😅 but after 3rd month after birth , we had one time. Then it felt like drag every few months once lol. Even after coming to 3 years. I’m still tired but it really depends on my mood lol. I had me time, it helps me alot . I went to shop alone, salon, pedicure n meet up w my gfs , go for high tea, brunch or dinner etc also me n hub went for dates on weekend. I think mummies are too exhausted, our attention 100% goes to baby. But love is definitely there 🥰 I guess mummy take a short break, ask hubby or immediate family to tc for couple hours and go for me time ;)

Ahhh. You should communicate with hubby! Have a break during weekends. Since baby is 1 years old . You can give full cream milk use cup/ straw cup / sippy cup . Let her try :) During weekends : breast feed baby then have a short break. If lo wants milk n snacks , can drink full cream milk while u outside for couple hrs.
