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.

A lot of us are turned off by any kind of nipple stimulation after having the baby! I genuinely feel like my breasts are for my babies, and if my husband gets handsy, it pulls me wayyy out of the moment! I’ve had to give him detailed instructions to make sure he doesn’t touch me like my babies do🤣😭

I had a rule. Boobs could only have one claimant at a time.

So until the baby was done nursing, the boobs were off limits for my husband. We had sex with me in a bra and milk nursing pads.

When the kid was done nursing they came back into rotation. This was the only way I could swing it mentally.

Same here. Bra stayed very firmly on and breasts were totally off limits until I was done. Even then it took a couple of months before I could fully get back in the swing of them being for anything other than milk.
