This got brought up on the Due in Feb board so I thought I'd bring it over here... Do you feel as though breast feeding can hinder the relationship? What about the co-sleeping that often coincides with BF'ing?

I breast fed for a total of 3 1/2 years with my 3 boys combined and I must say my DH loved it because my breasts were really full, he also loved to just look at my sons and I bonding, he would just stare at the two of us, those were really special moments that you can never get back and need to be savored, for lack of a better word.

On the other hand, there were certain things that my DH was not able to do, so after a couple months, he would be like, can I have my breasts back...LOL

This is our first child so I can't say I have personal experience with this, but I do know that my DH is so very supportive of me BF'ing. He also isn't that much of a breast guy to begin with so it's not like he's going to be missing out on his favorite physical attribute of mine.
