Issues after Delivery  Discussion Forum

It all started when i had just delivered my baby. I had engorged breasts early morning three days after my delivery. It was really painful and my breasts were swollen and hard like rock. I was crying out of pain. Both me and my husband tried to manually express the milk out but it was of little help. I was yet to buy a breast reliever then. And it was too early in the morning to visit the doctor' s clinic. finally my husband had to suck out the milk himself from my breasts. It was of great relief. And it continued for the next few weeks. He would normally feed on at bedtime after the baby falls asleep. And repeat the same before going out for work and after coming back. And would sometime also fall asleep by my side while nursing. I would always ensure proper hygiene and wash my breasts properly after every time my husband puts his mouth and before feeding my baby. I never had an engorgement again after that except on one occasion when my husband was out the the town for three days, when my baby was around 12 weeks old. My baby is almost seven months now and I am yet to get back my periods. My husband is still performing his job loyally and to his full satisfaction and mine. I have started giving semi-solid food to my baby now but plan to breastfeed him till he become two years old. Both me and my husband are enjoying the new bond. It feels really nice to nourish both of them with my milk. We have resumed our sex-life 8 weeks after my delivery which was a C-section. And the milk always adds spice to our sex life. We are still not using any contraceptives as I am yet to get my periods back. Though we have never discussed, I would love to continue to feed my husband even after weaning my baby and as long as I can. I guess lactational amnenorrhea is the the nest method new parents may use to prevent conception after having a newborn dhruvi replied. hello prabha,

there is nothing wrong in that to give breastfeeding to husband, but you should take some precautions, like wash nipples before feeding to baby, after feeding to your husband. Rajat replied. I agree with u to nurse your hubby in bed. i too love to suck from my newly wed wife
