How To Keep Love Alive After Baby

6. Be more helpful around the house. When was the last time you mopped the kitchen floor? Or cleaned out the refrigerator? Do you ever make arrangements for baby-sitting? Or if the child(ren) are old enough, do you sometimes take a turn in arranging play-dates? I have heard women swear that such gestures, especially if they are outside your normal routine, constitute a powerful aphrodisiac.

7. Change your underwear. If you wear cotton boxers, try silk briefs. If your drawer is full of whities, buy something colorful. The idea is to get her to notice the part of your anatomy that you want her to notice. You might try cologne, some new silk sheets, etc. Think playful. You might have to step out of your comfort zone. Ever visit a sex shop? If not, you may find something steamy there to arouse her carnal appetite.

Try all of the strategies. Be creative. Enjoy giving yourself license to do things differently. Who knows, the next time you have sex with your wife it may feel not only good but contain a spark of pattern-breaking newness that makes it all the more exciting for both of you!

I will have to try those things. I have noticed as well that you kinda need her to run the show for the first 3-6 months after the birth. She has to be comfortable and have no pain for her to be interested.
