Libido low after having baby. How does one get back in the mood?

I totally understand where you are coming from. I lost all desire to have sex after I had my son. I don't know if it was me being scared to get pregnant again or the fact that I was tired and I felt like I looked like crap. Having a baby does hell to your self-esteem as well as your body. I started working out at Curves for a little while and that seemed to help some. It just takes time. Even if you have to schedule sex you need to for your husband. My son still sleeps in our bad. he may start out in his but he ends up in ours and he is three. It gets better. You are just tired and if your are breastfeeding you are over touched. Just don't feel like you are the only one out there that has been through what you are going through. Every mom does at some point or another.

Edit: Also, you may have postpartum depression. I did for about two years. It was really bad. That could also have something to do with it.

Oh boy...sex with the baby in the bed ??? I think NOT. At six months your baby should be sleeping all night, six hours anyway, and should also be in their own bed.

I realize it is easier if you are breast feeding to have the baby in bed with you for the first few months but you are past that time. If it is you with the separation anxiety set the crib up next to your bed and roll it farther away every couple of days until it is in THE BABY'S ROOM.

Check with your pediatrician on when they think it is appropriate to start an evening meal of cereal to help her sleep longer...this will also help to end your exhaustion. A hormone check by your ob/gyn is in order also.

Now that you are a parent it takes a little creative planning to switch you from mommy mode to lovely wife sex kitten mode and it helps if your husband gives and helps you find time before bed to relax.

Go to bed at the same time together every night. I hope your husband is telling you and acting like he loves your new mommy body as much or more than the chickie one...it 's a libido lifter to know you are still desired.

Get that baby out of your bed TODAY!

No wonder you are not in the mood, you are sleeping in a crib instead of a place to have sex with your husband.

The baby will get over it.

Hormones. Those little bastards. LOL Get the baby out of your bed. That's a real problem for the two of you and for the baby.

Your baby should not be in bed with you. If you feel like a mother all the time then you won't feel like a woman.

it should have returned by now .most important the baby needs to be in their own bed especially during an intimate time if you dont put them in their own bed now it is going to be very hard to get them to stay in one when they get older.

you need to speak with your obgyn.. While its normal not to have interest because of exhaustion. you should have some interest. Your hormones sound off to me, they can check this with simple blood work.
