Hi all, is it normal to not have any trace of libido while breastfeeding? I'm bf-ing my LO for almost a year and sex life is close to zilch. I have spoken to my hubby about this before and he said it's fine and we can take our time. For me I feel like my mind is up for it but the body isn't. Just putting it out there to gather some opinions. Thanks in advance for sharing! ☺️

Absolutely! Don't think it's just about breastfeeding but just about your body still recovering. It takes about 12-18 months to finally feel like yourself again. It's great that your mind is up to it. Foreplay, cuddling and kissing each other should be a good alternative for now

Thanks for sharing! I feel quite like myself now but still tired from the daily grind (sahm with help from hubby). We are both usually exhausted by the end of each day and all we wanna do is sleep. Hope things get better soon :)
