She doesn't have any problems breast feeding our child although she has said that she won't be doing it much longer as it will be easier to do it from the bottle. I just want to know is it normal for her to leak when I do that and also is there anyway to stop it from happening or to try and prevent it? I like milk but I'd rather have it out a carton not out of my wife's breast so if any of you could help that would be great. Reply to this Question

When the baby is still only 2 months old and feeds a lot, her breasts will get very full very often. Her body is still only adjusting to breastfeeding and she and your baby is still working out the right supply and demand cycle. Things will be more settled soon even if she continues to breastfeed. In some woman this leaking of milk during sex stops after a few months and in some it doesn't. It is all normal. At this time your main concern should be your baby's health and your wife's wellbeing. By breastfeeding she is giving your baby the best start in life in every way and is protecting herself from breast cancer etc. Maybe you should consider your sex drive as not the most important thing at the moment and consider your wife and child. It is a phase in life that will pass when the time is right, but by forcing it to end soon, will be a great loss to your wife and child. Try to be supportive rather than selfish. If the milk comes out, just ignore it, avoid it and do not make her feel selfconsious about it (no one said you had to drink it!) .

 Until she dries up you might want to start finding a taste for breast milk. The only other choice is not to suck on the titties.

 Well, right now she's a feeding machine (sorry, just the way it is). I believe that hormones is what drives her to lactate. Whenever something gets near them, they begin to secrete milk (in preparation for feeding the baby). There is light at the end of the tunnel! Once she quits breastfeeding and the milk "dries" up, you'll be able to have fun on your playground like you used to (like you did to make the baby in the first place :)) and not worry about her secreting milk during your special time together. But it won't happen until she quits breastfeeding and the hormones quit working and the milk dries up. Not sure how long the process takes from start to finish but it isn't just a couple of days. This is the way to stop it. In the meantime, you could find other places to put your mouth on her, just a suggestion :)Hope this helps.

 the breasts produce milk when they are being stimulated! by caressing her breasts you are stimulating them and the horomone oxytocin sends signals to the brain to enable them to produce more milk! the more the breasts are stimulated, the more milk is made!when she gives up breast feeding-if the breasts are left unstimulated then the milk will soon dry up! but if they are stimulated they will continue to produce milk! so if your wife wants it to dry up, avoid any stimulation at all!!s0 yes it is perfectly normal for her to leak at this time and it is nothing to worry about! when the breastfeeding stops, your problem will be solved!hope this helps!xxx
