9weeks pp and have been ebf my first baby I don’t know anything for sure but from my experience yes I’ve been super dry it bothers me in my day to day not just when we’re trying to be intimate :/
@Melissa omg be careful 😅
@Ivy 😩 okay. Thank you.
It's not just from breastfeeding, our horomones are weird right now. I'm formula feeding and dealing with the same. They have natural, non scented, lubes you can use. Just put some on before you start foreplay, he's not even gonna know 😊
@Shannon same here
Just had my 6 week OB appointment and my doctor told me that dryness was a side effect of breastfeeding. Says your vaginal tissue stays super thin and dry until you stop breastfeeding. Also told me bc of the thin tissue that sex could be slightly uncomfortable at first. She definitely recommended lube to me.
We're 50/50 breastfeeding and formula. So i don't know if it's the BF or just allll the whacky hormones but def needed lube
Use water based lubricant. It shouldn’t be too irritating!
This is true due to the estrogen levels while breastfeeding. If you’re concerned you may be able to get your care provider to prescribe you estrogen cream to apply. It’s topically applied to the vagina so won’t affect baby but can help with dryness. Otherwise I agree with everyone about additional lubricant regardless until you feel comfortable again.
I never connected those dots 🤦♀️as i saw this i just now realized that when i stopped bf i went back to normal 😅
I’ve heard this being true. The only lube I currently have on hand is the preseed brand I used to help us get pregnant so now I’m scared to use it once we’re back to business 😂 but I def think I’ll want & need it.
