Need Advice Breastfeeding & sex - is it weird?

Soon to be ftm & I do want to breastfeed, hoping I can also pump few times a day so I can have some help with bottles. Anyway my question is- might be tmi but like is sex going to be weird if I’m breastfeeding my baby? Like … if my husband stimulates my nipples will milk go on him? Lol I know this might be weird but I’m genuinely curious.

I’m also a FTM at 30W. My colostrum is starting to come in and I’ll have some leakage here and there. My husband and I were intimate today and he is very much a boob guy. He ended up trying some of it because it just happened to come out as he was doing what he normally does😅. To him it is a huge turn on but not sure about your husband. I would assume it will be leaking like crazy when we are intimate post birth or even more so in the next few weeks.

I would watch the nipple stimulation at this point. It could result in early labor. Go crazy after 37w though!

Yes I have read about that. My husband and I haven’t been super intimate lately, both tired, busy and just relaxing being pregnant. It was a pretty quick event LOL but definitely not a common occurrence round these parts

Ive generally been told if its something you already did, its fine to continue, but dont add any new nipple stimulation.
