I am SO glad you asked this question. I did not even think about the connection to BFing, but I've been having the same issue, which does not exactly make me feel like getting into it with DH. I feel so much better knowing that this can/is an issue! I was starting to think something was wrong with me!

Haha! Yes that feels so much better indeed! I was thinking so many things before I researched more about it!. I also reas a babycenter article that explained about that.its important that hubbies know about it too since it involves them! :D
When I talked abt it with my hubby, I felt so much better abt myself and our relationship! Ouf!a relief! Thx
