Even if you have the energy for love making, just finding the time for your partner can be difficult. Here are some tips to ensure you and your partner are present with each other, as well as the baby.

Nap Time / Sexy Time

The times when your baby is asleep is crucial time for rest, and also an opportunity for intimacy. Ensuring you’re rested will give you more energy for lovemaking. Your baby will be eating and sleeping throughout the day and night, so take advantage of the downtime and use it wisely.

Morning Sex

Between continuous feedings, a crying baby, and maintaining the house, having the energy for sex is pretty difficult. Mornings are also a good time to plan for sexy time because you’ve both had the chance to catch up on sleep.

Make a Schedule

Prior to your baby, you probably didn’t need to make a time to specifically have sex. However, your time is now practically booked up. Schedule a time for you and your partner to be intimate. Even if you have to sneak away to the other room for 15 minutes, it will be worth it.

Family and Friends

Reach out to family and friends for support, so you can have some time without the baby. An evening out for dinner without kids will give you the chance to relax and be intimate with your partner.

Having Great Sex After Baby

Oxytocin is a hormone produced in the body which plays a role in social bonding, sexual reproduction, and during and after childbirth. It is released during the stretching of the cervix and uterus during a vaginal labor, and with stimulation of the nipples from breastfeeding. This helps with bonding with the baby, milk production, and during the birth itself, as it acts as a pain reliever

Oxytocin, commonly referred to as the “love hormone,” bonds you to your mate through physical touch, sexual activity, and orgasms. The large amount of oxytocin released during birth, and simply the profound experience itself, can add a special closeness to your partner. The way you see each other has also shifted. The connection with the baby the two of you have divinely created is a very intimate bond.

Use the healing time in the first few weeks after childbirth to be present and affectionate with your partner. Hold one another, kiss, gaze into each other’s eyes, and gently caress each other, valuing this new stage of life.

The oxytocin released in physical touch will increase your sexual drive, so you will be open to resuming sexual intimacy when your body is ready.

The greater you care for your body, the quicker you will heal, and the quicker you will be safe to have sex. Recovery begins in the last few months of your pregnancy. Your partner can begin to stretch your vagina to prepare for childbirth, use this time as erotic foreplay. With lubrication, have your mate take two fingers and circle the inside of the vagina. This will bring calming attention to the area and added flexibility, prior to the transformation of childbirth.

Whether you’ve had a vaginal birth or C-section, your body has gone through huge changes. Vaginal births have the potential to tear your vagina, leaving you 5-6 weeks to heal before making love. C-section births require healing from the incision, and bladder and organ displacement. C-section’s healing process before it’s comfortable and safe to have sex is less than a vaginal birth at about 4-6 weeks, there can however be other issues with sex after a cesarean.

Belly binding is one of the most important things aside from good nutrition and rest when recovering from pregnancy and childbirth. A support belt compresses the abdomen to reduce pain, discomfort, and swelling from an incision. The belt offers protection and support to increase mobility, so you’re able to perform daily functions.

Massaging with essential oils is another integral part of the postpartum healing process. Use this time for intimate massage as well. Touch and genuine affection is just as nourishing as making love. Essential oils also provide the body with the nutrients it needs to reduce scars and stretch marks.
