This decreased sex drive should get back normally  after the first few weeks, depending on the type of delivery and the  after care required. But if the loss of libido carries on for a much  longer time, then it&#8217;s time to take some measures to get their sex life  back on track.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few tips on how to increase the female sex drive after having a baby:<\/p>\n<p>1.  Taking care of a new born can be a very exhausting task. Sleep  deprivation and feeding can take a toll on your body, this leads to sex  being the last thing on your mind. Ask your husband to help you with the  feeding(bottle feed) and take naps whenever you can. This will refresh  your mind and body and you will be more inclined towards sex.<\/p>\n<p>2.  Make sure that you check in with your doctor, if you feel any discomfort  or pain after delivery to rule out any type of physical problem. Make  sure that you body is fully recovered from the physical strain of  delivering a baby.<\/p>\n<p>3. Talk openly with your partner about the lack  of libido that you are feeling, reassure him that you still find him  attractive and that it has nothing to do with him. This will make him be  more patient and loving towards you and will hopefully not put any  pressure on you for sex. Sometimes just the relief from not having  pressure for sex can get your drive back up.<\/p>\n<p>4. Relax yourself  before having sex, ask your partner to massage you gently with aromatic  oils or just take a long leisurely soak in a warm bath. This will relax  your muscles and mind and get you in the mood for some intimacy in bed.<\/p>\n<p>5.  Using proper lubrication is essential for you to enjoy sexual  intercourse. This will reduce friction and prevent tears in the vaginal  wall which can cause a lot of discomfort and pain. You can also ask your  partner to indulge in prolonged foreplay to help you get aroused.<\/p>\n<p>The  trick to regain your libido after childbirth is to follow the above  mentioned tips and not to think about sex, in other words don&#8217;t worry if  you don&#8217;t feel\u00a0 upto it, sometimes just doing it gets rid of this  problem. Remember to communicate honestly with your partner and make  them understand what you are going through and don&#8217;t be shy to tell them  what you want in bed. Make sure to change your mindset from that of a  mother to that of a lover and this is all that you need to do to regain  and enjoy your sex life once more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Loss of libido or sex drive is something which is quite common for a female to experience after having a child.
