Patient's question:
Breastfeeding and Intercourse: My husband enjoys drinking milk during breastfeeding, and I'm not sure why. I want to ask if it's okay for him to keep drinking breast milk?Doctor's answer:
If men also enjoy drinking milk during breastfeeding, that's okay, but it may affect the baby's ability to breastfeed. During breastfeeding, women should drink more hot soup-like foods, which can help with milk production. It's important to maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia and can be cleaned with warm water every night. If there is sexual activity during breastfeeding and pregnancy is not planned, intrauterine devices or condoms can be used for contraception.
