  When do you find time to be intimate with your partner after the birth of your child?

  @everyone I just want to state that I did not ask this question because I am unsatisfied with co-sleeping with my daughter. And I also really enjoy holding her as she naps. Sure maybe I don’t get as much done around the house as some stay at home moms do, but so what. She’s more important than house work. My partner and I are not deprived of sex either. We have sex on average 2 days a week, which is not great but also not horrible. And who says that you have to have tons of sex, 6 times a week in order for it to be wild and mind blowing. In my experience it can go both ways. I am only interested in learning of new creative ways that my partner and I can have sex without our daughter watching, preferably from parents who have also co-slept with their children. We would like to leave our daughter in the care of family members or friends but all of our family members live at least 60+ miles away and none of our friends have or know how to take care of babies. So that’s not really an option for us yet. @bananafish Having your child sleep in a crib works for you and your family and that’s great. However, a lot of babies prefer sleeping with one or both parents, like my daughter does. You have your way and we have ours. You would probably benefit from being open to and respectful of families who make decisions based on what works for them even though they may not be decisions you would make. Also, the way in which you went about crafting your response was tactless. I think you pissed a lot of people off, including my partner and me. Even your apology was rude! You should think before you type. Thank you to everyone who didn’t immediately suggest to make the transition from co-sleeping to crib. I appreciate your thoughts on the matter. Everything that has been suggested here save for moving our daughter into a crib or having someone watch her for us is something that my partner and I have tried – we just need to start doing it better than we have been. If anyone has something new to suggest I’d still like to hear you thoughts.

  When do you find time to be intimate with your partner after the birth of your child?

  We are prepared for that but I don’t want her to be forced into it when she is still so dependent on breastmilk and cuddling close in order to fall asleep.

  When do you find time to be intimate with your partner after the birth of your child?

  She only sleeps when being held. She falls asleep while nursing, then sometimes I can pass her to her dad or lay her down but she doesn’t sleep for very long when not in someones arms.
