My dh is a booby man through and through!!! He was SO excited when my milk came in because they grew like 2 sizes!!! But he wasn't allowed to touch them cause they hurt me!
Now its not so bad, I've just gotten over nipple thrush so he wasn't allowed to touch then... While DTD i get a let down and so Dh gets covered in milk, he doesn't mind and still will suck my nipples even though he knows he will get milk,
Some men just love their boobies! Just remind him to be gentle!!!!
Definitely go for the breastfeeding class, book in soon - if you go to the one in the inner eastern suburbs, they show you a great dvd that includes baby led attachment, so I definitely recommend it.
As for the good times, my DH is a bit freaked out by the milk too, and wouldn't touch them at first. So we usually DTD when they are empty. We didn't start back up until 7 or so weeks after the birth, so my supply was well settled by then, and that bursting full feeling wasn't as intense, so there was really no tenderness.
