Dear LIB readers: Something happens to me when I'm breastfeeding

This has got to be the weirdest Dear LIB readers question ever. Wasn't sure if I should put it up but here it is...
"Linda and fellow LIB readers, please help! I am a nursing mother/wife. I get wet and sometime cum when I'm breastfeeding my 7 months old son who happens to be my first baby. When he suckles my breast...gosh! What is happening to me? Are there other mothers out there who have had similar feelings? What can I do to stop this? Am I developing unhealthy sexual feelings for my own son or what is this? Please I need help!

Make him papa no hear that one! Him go ban the boy from further sucking.

She said...

You are not developing any unhealthy feelings for your son. I guess your nipples are very sensitive hence the arousal you feel when breastfeeding.

The way to go about it is to completely take ur mind away and focus on other things when you are breastfeeding.

It's because he's your first child and first experience at breastfeeding. I'm sure u get aroused sexually when your breast is sucked and that same feeling is what is replicated in your son. I'll advice you free your mind from such thoughts while feeding him. Soon it will be a thing of the past.

yinka said...

That is totally completely NORMAL!!!! It doesn't mean you're turned on but you also can't help it if it happens. It happens to a lot of women most just don't want to admit it.
Many women who breastfeed have the experience of feeling aroused, and even having an orgasm, while breastfeeding. But because this is something researchers haven’t studied, and it isn’t a regular part of the education of mothers-to-be, many women experience this and then feel silent shame or guilt, as if there is something wrong with them. But there is a very clear reason for the experience and women neither need to feel shame or embarrassment about it which is caused mostly by a lack of information.

Oxytocin is a hormone that stimulates ejection of milk from the nipples, and its release is triggered by breast stimulation.

But oxytocin is implicated in many other physiological processes. It is involved in contractions of the uterus (both during childbirth and during orgasm), as well as being associated with the feeling of relaxation and satiation following orgasm.
It is thought that this is the reason that breastfeeding may produce feelings of sexual arousal and orgasm. And the experience is far from rare.
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. It's completely normal and there is nothing wrong with you.

Hahahaha!!! This Ikwerreboy eh, u no well o! Very funny comment sha

Dr Obi-X said...

There is nothing to be embarrassed about.
It's a normal physiological response to lactation hormones. Breastfeeding feels good! If it didn't, very few mothers would do it. It might help to understand just what hormonal responses are taking place.

As your baby nurses, prolactin — known as the "mothering hormone" — stimulates the body to manufacture milk. This hormone gives you a feeling of relaxation and well-being. Oxytocin, another hormone secreted during breastfeeding, causes the alveoli to contract, releasing milk into the ducts, the milk sinuses, and your baby's mouth. This hormone is responsible for the tingling sensation some mothers feel before a milk ejection reflex, or letdown, and the postpartum uterine cramping felt while breastfeeding.

Oxytocin also causes labor contractions during childbirth and pleasure contractions during orgasm. Varying amounts of oxytocin are attributed to these different contractions. The arousal you describe while nursing may also be the result of the empowerment and satisfaction you feel knowing that you are meeting all of your daughter's nutritional and emotional needs at the breast.

Anonymous said...

That's you Nigerians' answer to everything.....go to church. Have you even taken time out to google and see what it means? Its not an unusual thing. It means she is very sensitive to that particular sensation. People have different things that trigger them sexually and sucking her nipples could be hers. She just needs her brain to tell her that breastfeeding her child shouldn't have the same effect as her man sucking on her nipple. Nothing is spiritually wrong with her!!!!!

Anonymous said...

Gday , Normally your are not supposed to have sexual stimulation when your nursing your baby. That only happens when its your man that is at the place but this issue you have is due to the fact that your maternal instinct is mixed up. GO see you gynecologist. It is not new but try to separate this feelings.Frm Someone that Knows

It is i portant to know that milk production is control by the hypothalamus centre in the brain with the release of hormone called prolactin which directly responsible for milk production. Moreover, milk let down is controlled by another hormone called oxytocin which causes the milk duct to contract and release milk when the nipple is suckled. Now here is the koko, this same oxytocin causes the womb of a woman to contract during labor and orgasm. So depending on individual variation this may lead to a pronounced contraction of the womb. Mind u every woman experience some level of contraction of the womb under the influence of oxytocin. Thst is why, breastfeeding hrlps the womb to return to its normal position after childbirth. But my advice to the woman is for her not to attach any feeling to that .it will soon fizzle out.

well, it is normal to have some feelings but not to the extent of orgasm. May be u are naturally hypersensitive to sexual stimulation. So i suggest u either try to take ur mind off it or express ur milk and feed ur baby with a bottle if it gives much concern. If any1 shd ask,tell them u get cracked and painful nipples whenever the baby sucks. Problem solved!

The feeling is quite normal. It doesn't mean that you want to get laid by your own child. Just hold tight after breast feeding you still have the feelings then your husband should come in then. It's not weird at all.

hello, pls go to google and search for anything you need to know on this subject matter. you are ok my dear. just try control ur mind and everything will be ok. u won't think like this if your baby is a girl so you are not having that kind of affection for your son.

SWS said...

My dear you are not a pervert,sick,horny etc etc. Your nipples are obviously extremely sensitive, so you are easily aroused by the baby's sucking. This is normal, you having an orgasm is the natural result, but as a mother this is extremely disturbing for you which is quite understandable. As long as you ONLY breast feed your son because HE needs it,and NOT to experience the 'pleasure', which I seriously doubt in your case, please go ahead and breast feed your child. Perhaps when he gets to a year old, you should wean him off then as he can start drinking alternative milk by then with no problem. Good luck.

Please this is actually helpful:

One issue rarely mentioned is that the breastfeeding experience is very sensuous in itself and some mothers may become aroused during breastfeeding (Hotchner, 1979; Lawrence, 1989; Mueller, 1985; Reamy & White, 1987). This is a normal phenomenon. Yet, mothers may feel guilty if they have these feelings. Consequently, some may decide to stop breastfeeding. Should a mother decide to speak about such feelings, both lay people and health care professionals may be shocked, may ridicule her, and may even report her to child protection services (Huggins & Ziedrich, 1994).

Ganem (1992) explicitly explains that some breast- feeding mothers exacerbate the potential for this experience if they cross their legs while they feed their babies. As a result, the labia minora may rub against each other, potentially leading to the stimulation of the clitoris. The mother could experience deep orgasm from clitoral stimulation and uterine contractions from oxytocin. Though Ganem has been very open about this issue, Newton presented the idea when she first wrote about the comparison between breastfeeding behavior and coital orgasm back in 1955.

Newton (1955, 1973) describes the parallel reactions between breastfeeding and coital orgasm: a) uterine contractions are present in both processes; b) nipple erection occurs during both suckling and sensual excitement; c) breast stroking and nipple stimulation occur during both breastfeeding and sexual foreplay; d) emotions aroused by both types of contact involve skin changes; e) milk let-down or the milk ejection reflex may be triggered during both, f) the emotions experienced during sexual arousal and the emotions experienced during uninhibited, unrestricted breastfeeding may be closely allied, and g) an accepting attitude toward sexuality may be related to an accepting attitude toward breastfeeding (Newton, 1973, pp. 82–83). Women need to be reassured that while pelvic sexual arousal is not a common response to breastfeeding, when these feelings occur they are normal.

I know little about this. This is a normal phenomenon. Yet, mothers may feel guilty if they have these feelings. Consequently, some may decide to stop breastfeeding. Some breast- feeding mothers worsen the potential for this experience if they cross their legs while they feed their babies. As a result, the labia minora(vaginal lips) may rub against each other, potentially leading to the stimulation of the clitoris. The mother could experience deep orgasm from clitoral stimulation and uterine contractions from oxytocin.
My advice? Try to control your thoughts and know that it's your baby, he/she came out of you and so have clean thoughts. Meet with your man at least once in a while since you're still breast feeding.

Ignorance is a disease said...

Having gone thru most of the comments, what is most annoying are all the self righteous pricks judging this poor woman either due to massive ignorance, or because of their own individual experiences. Y'all should be ashamed of yourselves when Google use is free. Some idiots actually called her perverted, Satan etc. Wtf?! ANYONE, male or female, has the innate propensity to be aroused when erogenous zones ate manually stimulated, NO MATTER WHO IS DOING THE STIMULATION.

Thus, if I blindfolded all you self righteous idiots and got a child of the same or opposite sex to manually stimulate you, you WILL get hard/wet, and if it goes on long enough, you WILL cum. GUARANTEED!

ENOUGH of this our ignorance in Nigeria abeg. Drops mic

I'm an MS and I have to say your piece here is the only useful comment on this page. I generally stopped reading most other doctor's comments the moment they say "oxytocin causes production of milk or prolactin causes milk let down"lol, cant be corrupting my small brain with that.
Anyway, can you please elaborate on this concentration dependent action of oxytocin especially with orgasm. I was of the opinion that it had to do With the Sympathetic nervous system

O! The deep ignorance of Nigerians. This is a common occurrence all over the world and will certainly pass. If you feel uncomfortable about it, you could express the breast milk and feed your baby from a bottle. Do not be bothered by some of the nasty comments. Just ignorance talking.

This happens to some women, there is nothing weird about it. piece of advise, use a nipple protector, that prevents a direct contact with u n your little one.

I think young lady in question set herself p for the kind of shameless, crass and illiterate responses she has solicited from 79% of the comments. I didn't expect any better from the response... in all credit, they were a lot better as I expected religious bigots to scream deliverance... Nothing is probably wrong with her. She might just have extremely sensitive nipples and that coupled with the fact that she probably never knew just how sensitive they are (because they were unexplored... maybe) makes it uncontrollable, she just needs to ensure her opinion is not that her kid is the one that makes her come and not her extremely sensitive nipples... I'm no scientist but I refused to be closed-minded about this.

ALL THESE RANDOM PEOPLE GIVING ADVISE, TELLING YOU IT IS NORMAL. IT IS NOT!!!. EVEN IN THE HEIGHT OF SEXUAL AROUSAL WITH YOUR HUSBAND THE CRY OF A BABY IS ENOUGH TO STOP YOUR AROUSAL. IT IS CALLED MATERNAL INSTINCT AND THIS INSTINCT HELPS MOTHERS PROTECT THEIR CHILDREN.SEXUAL AROUSAL IS A THING OF THE MIND, YOU CAN SWITCH IT OFF WHEN IT IS INAPPROPRIATE. I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE IS TELLING YOU , THE ROLE OF THE HORMONES IN BREASTFEEDING ARE TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM THEIR SEXUAL ROLE. YOU NEED HELP BECAUSE YOU HAVE PAEDOPHILIA TENDENCY.STOP FEEDING YOUR BABY THAT FUCKED UP MILK. YOU MIGHT BE EXPERIENCING POSTNATAL PSYCHOSIS BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT BONDING PROPERLY WITH THAT BABY.

My dear if you are breast feeding well and your baby is latched on properly your nipples will not be stimulated. If your baby is attached just to your nipples
1 the baby is poorly attached and will not get enough
2 the baby will get tired from sucking in vain , will not gain weight and will not settle
3 apart from the initial feelings of arousal you seem to be enjoying you will soon experience very sore nipples because the tongue of a baby acts as sandpaper on the nipple.
4 I advise yo to stop breast feeding for now becos I think your enjoyment is overshadowing the main purpose of nourishing this baby. It amounts to child abuse.
5 how can you actually continue feeding when you experience these feelings couldn't you stop yourself?
6 how would you feel if your husband said carrying his baby girl on his lap gave him an erection. It's the same thing o! Check yourself. The enjoyment of breast feeding is the satisfaction that you are cuddling and nourishing your child that's the good feeling it has no connection to sexual gratification.

israelthestoryteller said...

It is very natural to feel that way because the nerve ending at the nipples which support the flow of breast milk is the same nerves that get active when sexual arousal occurs .
Women with highly developed sexual nature can have an orgasmic experience by simply fiddling or stimulating their nipples ,hence you are likely to one of such women , there is nothing to be ashamed of.

Okay o! So the same hormones that cause labour pains bring about orgasms. So why don't women have pleasurable feeling in labour. A beg all this reasoning is nonsense. If she can chose when to have orgasm she can Also decided not to have it when breast feeding. It's called self control.

It does not happen to women who love their children it happens to women who love their pussy more than anything else. It is you that is primitive , keep eating up that rubbish you google from the internet to prove you are enlightened. God forbid you. So what do you tell a peodophile that is sexually attracted to babies. If you check that your oracle google you will find something to support their sexual attraction too. Use your common sense parents can not and should not have any sexual feelings towards their children or any children. It's an abomination period.the hormones god blessed women with is to help feed the child not to fuck it . Tufiakwa

So many perverts coming out , trying to justify their vile and lewd desires with testimonies from questionable sources. Go and ask your mothers if they came when they breast fed you. It's to much exposure to phonography and other sexual explicit images down loaded from the internet that makes people lose their human nature. You can read all your perverted documentation to support your wretched views . Common sense is not scientific it is common. If you want to reference a text do your fucking research on the source. Anyone can publish anything on the internet. Dangerous pedophiles and such. It is not natural to cum when breast feeding your child. Breast feeding does not stimulate the nipple because of the way the baby latches on. The nipple doesn't even touch the mouth it stays far behind at the back of the mouth and acts as an outlet for the milk. What is message during breast feeding is the areole that is the darker area of skin behind the nipple. go and ask your mothers how a baby breast feeds even watch someone with experience do it. . Bunch of vile pedos.

I wont come here nd say its normal cos in my dictionary it ain't,I have a son dat I am currently breastfeeding nd dere is nutting sexual bout it pls pls nd pls get medical nd spiritual help

I have breast fed all my kids. I never felt what you described. My breast are very extremely sensitive, but my baby at my breast did never bring about what you described. And if it did I would not continue with it to the point of orgasm, I would have stopped it immediately. Try expressing like someone suggested.

Anonymous said...

Breast feeding sends signals to the brain and a hormone is released from the pituitary gland which helps in contracting the uterus or womb. This wetting may not be too far from signal to brain and release of substance. See an obstetrician for explanation and assurance.

All this scientific mobo jumbo . My dear the truth is that you are in control of your body not the other way around. You cannot blame hormones for what you are feeling and you can't blame the devil. Imagine your husband changing your daughters nappy and getting aroused. You have to learn to control yourself. Man without self control is an uncivilised beast. Take responsibility for your self and now this baby. Peace.

Can't believe how so ignorant and judge mental a lot of readers are here.About 10% women go through these all around the world. So many nursing mothers go through so many hormone changes. Is nothing to be ashamed off. Some get aroused while giving birth. My advice just try and wean your baby early if your uncomfortable or get prescription , get distracted or just enjoy while you bond with your baby.Life is to short to be stressed.

I get extremely annoyed when I read posts that say stuff like pray, it is the devils work, you are possessed. Many Nigerians are sad, ignorant, over religious illiterates. There is nothing spiritual to this. She is a lady with a sensitive nipple. It is quite normal for many women but most are so ashamed of it that they are able to turn it off mentally. I'm going to post a link here for those women who are ignorant but want to know more about this phenomenon. Nature made this act pleasurable enough (for some, too pleasurable) so as to ensure its survival.

Am a mum of 2 my first baby is 2 and half and second 9 months, breast feeding helps contract you uterus, coupled with the sensitivity of the nipples explains this, but will wear out with time as your nipples become less sensitive, we are all different see your GP if you are worried, but I enjoyed every moment of it.

THE MAN said...

Do women ever get sexual sensations while they are nursing?
Because the hormones involved in lactation are the same as those involved in orgasm, it is believed that a woman could have an orgasm while breastfeeding. Karen Pryor feels that because oxytocin causes the uterus to contract that some women may misinterpret the cramping sensations as orgasmic contractions. I have asked hundreds of women if they have ever had an orgasm during nursing. Their answer, always an emphatic "No!" The most common description of sensation are those of the "warm after glow" sensation that many women experience following orgasm. Women appear to have the innate ability to separate the breast's maternal function from sexuality while they are nursing. Prolactin, the mothering hormone, gives the mother a calm, warm peaceful feeling after nursing. Also the release of oxytocin with the let-down, is responsible for the "after-glow." These sensations are quite normal. http://www.lactationconsultant.info/basi...

TONIX said...

Later, in another human sexuality class, I asked my professor about this experience. She confirmed that it is possible and probably quite common, although people have feelings of shame about it. Pleasurable breastfeeding was probably one of nature's ways to make a survival behavior attractive. She also told me that many women quit breastfeeding for this reason. For some women, the feelings of an infant suckling can be so pleasurable that they feel it is somehow wrong. That made me feel sad too. Breastfeeding is not pedophilia. Nature brought mommies and babies together for one of the most physically pleasurable relationships on earth. Let them suckle -- and do enjoy it, ladies. It is such a short period in both of your lives. And if your body responds without your consent, relax. Just buy a co-sleeper bed.

It's only a normal reaction for some women. I advice she expresses or stops in general if it's makes her too uncomfortable.

MumMicky said...

There is nothing to be embarrassed about.
It's a normal physiological response to lactation hormones. Breastfeeding feels good! If it didn't, very few mothers would do it. It might help to understand just what hormonal responses are taking place.
As your baby nurses, prolactin — known as the "mothering hormone" — stimulates the body to manufacture milk. This hormone gives you a feeling of relaxation and well-being. Oxytocin, another hormone secreted during breastfeeding, causes the alveoli to contract, releasing milk into the ducts, the milk sinuses, and your baby's mouth. This hormone is responsible for the tingling sensation some mothers feel before a milk ejection reflex, or letdown, and the postpartum uterine cramping felt while breastfeeding.
Oxytocin also causes labor contractions during childbirth and pleasure contractions during orgasm. Varying amounts of oxytocin are attributed to these different contractions. The arousal you describe while nursing may also be the result of the empowerment and satisfaction you feel knowing that you are meeting all of your daughter's nutritional and emotional needs at the breast.

In any case, still explain it to your doctor.
