    Touch sensitive?

    Hi there everyone. Just wanted to find out if this happened to anyone else? I used to be a really touch-loving person. In fact I'd say it was one of my love languages. I loved being touched by DH and having lots of snuggles and cuddles and kisses with tongue etc.. Ever since DD was born that's all gone out the window and it drives me crazy when DH gets all touchy-feely. Even just the slightest touch now tickles the heck out of and annoys me and I can't stand much tongue when kissing. I thought it would all come back, but DD is 14 months now. She's still BFing. Could that be causing it? Did anyone else experience this?

    I don't know if it's due to breastfeeding or if it's usual after babies...but I am pretty much the same. I spend all day being climbed on, noses wiped on me, fingers shoved in my mouth...that I get touched out and just want to be left when I don't have any kids on me.

    It is definitely a bf thing - bf suppresses your libido, it is supposed to, to work as a natural contraception. But being "touched out" is a really common thing for mums too, I know I feel like that at the end of the day too. Hang in there... It does get better... Apparently

    I'm exactly the same. It got a bit better after my cycles returned but still not like it used to be.
