The daily demands of caring for a baby are no reason to skip love-making. ELISA CHIA asks the sex questions you’re too shy to bring up.
Why shouldn’t Hubby and I sleep in separate rooms? It’s easier for me to breastfeed our new baby, and he gets a peaceful night’s rest.
The greatest advice that I ever received when we had our first baby is that your child is “part” of your family, not the “centre”. You shouldn’t view him as the most important member.
As a father of four, I understand that it takes a tremendous amount of time to care for a young baby. However, we shouldn’t make decisions that compromise the relationship between husband and wife – a strong marriage is the greatest gift we can give our children.
My advice is that your baby sleeps in his own room. It might be a difficult phase at first, but he will get used to it. A couple needs to be in the same room, so they can use that privacy to keep their marriage strong.
Is co-sleeping a better arrangement than having Hubby move out of the room? We can share the bed with Baby.
No! A great marriage doesn’t happen by accident; it requires time together. Research shows that how a couple says goodnight can keep a relationship strong.
