Frequently Asked Questions
Is it normal to have low libido while breastfeeding?
Yes, it's very common. Hormonal changes, fatigue, and the demands of caring for a newborn can all contribute to decreased sexual desire.
What can I do about vaginal dryness during breastfeeding?
Using a water-based lubricant is a great first step. You can also talk to your doctor about vaginal moisturizers or, in some cases, low-dose estrogen creams (under medical supervision).
