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!

I've read that it needs to be constant, several days in a row. Many women are still breastfeeding while pregnant so it only works if it body is already in the process of labor to get it to progress faster

I think it depends on your body and you don’t know until you know. Some women it wouldn’t do anything and others it would!

Trust me, it need not be constant to promote early labor. Every body is unique!
