Feeling of breasts (tmi warning)

[mommamixon14]

OK so I am really thinking of just pumping and feedimg my baby my milk that way, for one reason.... I am highly aroused when my husband plays/***** on my nipples, like highly. Idt I can get past that, and I feel that my breasts are too "sexualized" to directly feed baby..  What do you think, am I the only one who thinks this way?

You are certainly not the only one. I never looked forward to breastfeeding. For my first son I was never comfortable breastfeeding. I hated it, I still managed to breastfeed my son for 5 months before I started losing my milk for various reasons. I just sorta got through it, it had to be done so I did it. The 'weirded out by your infant' feeling does go away, but I still never liked having a baby sucking his food out of me. Lol. I did rather him than my pump though, the pump freaked me out even more. Ick!
The 'bonding experience' that women say they get from breastfeeding.... yeah, I never felt that. Totally jealous of them though. I bonded with my son by playing with him and talking to him and enjoying all his sweet little smiles. :)
I'm going to breastfeed again, and since I have more experience and the 'do's' and 'don'ts' of breastfeeding, I should be able to longer this time. (Buying formula was a total bummer!!! That junk is expensive!!) I'll just grind my teeth and get through it like I did last time.

Your milk will eventually stop producing in breastfeeding class they say the way you keep producing milk is bkuz when the baby is latched on they give off some type of hormones that help us to continue getting milk

Lol, i had a friend that stopped bf because of this self conscience feeling. I think it's a mind thing. But your not alone with this post.

Thx, not saying I'd get turned on by baby! But just not sure if it would make me uncomfortable.

Pumping will work but after a few weeks ypur supply will start to deminish a little at a time. Pumping is not a sufficient way to keep your supply up however, even a few weeks of breast milk is better then none. As for the sexual feeling, I totally got past that the first time I breast fed. It's a totally different experience mentally and physically. Good luck

Oops I wasn't done, but I guess if your uncomfortable you could pump and put it in a bottle. Breast milk is breast milk regardless of the way they drink it.  Make sure when you have baby you pump out that colostrum though cause that's the best part for them.

Thats because it's your husband doing that its supposed to work u up...breastfeeding is just that feeding so I wouldn't think it would make you feel uncomfortable.

Are you saying that you feel you will get turned on if your baby were to nurse? Just wanting to be clear on your question.
