My libido has ran away
Has anyone else completely lost their libido since having a baby? My son is 18 months and before him I had such a high sex drive and would want to have sex pretty much all the time however since having him I just don’t have that desire whatsoever like when it happens on the other occasion that I do want to do it, I do really enjoy it however I don’t sit there and think or I could really use a shag right now sorry that is a bit TMI but do you know what I mean? Anyone relate like? I don’t fancy it until it happens and that’s not very often.

Have you had your hormones checked? After a baby it can take up to 2 years for your hormones to settle down again and could be you are low in testosterone and other sex hormones. Could be a vitamin deficiency. Could be perimenopause (depending on your age). Could be some other health related issue (get your bloods checked).
Once you’ve got your health checked and verified that there are no underlying conditions, start looking into if there are other factors causing it such as being burnt out from motherhood, your partner not helping out and you losing attraction to them etc.
