Does breastfeeding change your libido? If so why?
Answer:
Having a BABY changes your libido!!
Breastfeeding never changed my libido but I did lose my weight quick.
Yes. Simple biology, actually. If you got pregnant again, your milk would dry up, which would mean that your baby had nothing to eat. So as long as you're nursing, your body keeps producing the hormones that inhibit libido and fertility. This is also why nursing is considered a natural birth-control.
Another reason- you got a baby latched on to your body constantly, it's harder to feel sexy. And after being pawed at all day, you really don't want to be pawed at some more for ANY reason.
I breastfed my two children until they were one. Personally, I do not think breastfeeding changed my libido. However, having babies definitely does. As a new mom you are sleep deprived and (at least I did) feel unattractive because of the left over baby weight. Sex was the last thing on my mind! However, once I started getting some sleep and feeling better about how I looked (the baby was probably about 6 months old) my libido seemed to return to normal. (And I was still breastfeeding)
It changed my libido - but only because you can't touch them without unleashing my inner dairy cow.
