Default I read on here somewhere that breastfeeding will make a person less likely to get...

...wet during intercourse? I dont know if this is true and I am planning on trying to breastfeed. Has anyone had this problem or is it just a myth.

You do tend to have vaginal dryness when breastfeeding. You need to keep drinking lots of water and stay hydrated. You are giving most of your hydration to the milk for your child. Get some KY if you are concerned.

I breastfed my daughter and I never had a problem afterwards. My ex husband said I was like a waterfall...LMAOI was told the same thing but also was told it was a myth. GL

MYTH! When breastfeeding ask for a breast pump at the hospital. They will let you use electric ones in the hospital and should let you take home a manual for free. I did this to get my milk in faster and it helped a bunch. Nothing will come out at first but it stimulates your breast.Good luck though.

It really doesnt have anything to do with the breast feeding your body changes after you have kids and so do your hormons so as you get older you will feel a little drier than you may have in the past that just means he has to do a little more befor hand or use a lube

Honestly in the early days I found that I was quite dry but I put it down to exhaustion not breastfeeding. I think it has to do with a mixture of things though not necessarilly breastfeeding your hormones are out of wack also being sleep deprived doesn't help. Breastfeeding does take a lot out of you as all the goodness is being sucked out of you and given to bub just keep hydrated and eat plenty of healthy nutrious foods. I wouldn't deter from breastfeeding because of this as there are plenty of lubricants on the market to use if there is a problem and you'll be back to your old self in no time.

hello there honey and congratulations on making the fantastic choice to breastfeed your baby! You are awesome! and well on your way to being a terrific mother! It really shows that you have been doing your homework and really paying attention to what is best for your baby! Did you know that the colosturm alone protects your newborn from at least 7 potentially FATAL diseases? True. The health benefits are just staggering. Why anyone would deprive their little baby of that is beyond me!In answer to your question, yes, I have heard that. I breastfed all four of my babies for well over 1 year and never had any problems in the area that you are talking about. It did not bother me but if it was a problem I would say that a discreet dab of KY jelly would do the trick.Good luck with breastfeeding! you are going to love it!BlessingsLady Trinity~
