Sex after Baby—Rediscovering Your Sexual Self
Add some exercise to your daily routine. It helps get your body back into shape and will help you feel better about yourself. After all, it's hard to feel sexy if a glimpse of your body makes you want to burrow under the covers. Try getting outside for a daily walk with the baby. It could be good for both of you.
Kiss your partner. We're not talking a peck. We're talking a kiss that makes you weak at the knees. Do this at least three times a day until you feel the tingling that means you're ready for more.
A word of caution: Don't expect the romantic spark to be exactly the same as it was before the baby. Most women find their sexual desire has changed after giving birth.
Lastly, take it one day at a time. Remember that you are both in this together, and never stop talking about how you feel about one another and about your sexual and emotional needs. Now that you're a family—keep your eye on the prize: a healthy family starts with a healthy relationship between parents. Don't neglect yours.
