While breast-feeding my new baby the other day, I suddenly found myself feeling very "horny". As soon as my partner came home, I got him to make love. Is there something wrong with me?
No. It's a well-known medical fact a lot of mothers do suddenly experience strong erotic feelings while breast-feeding. I've known patients who felt terribly embarrassed and guilty about this. However, it's nothing to be ashamed of. It is simply caused by a hormone which is released by the pituitary gland during lactation.
