Hi Kika, How wonderful to have you on lactnet! You say you are from Spain, is that where you are currently living or used to live there? Well it will be great to have more representation from other countries! Yes I think the issues you raised [about sexuality and changing feelings of body/self as a result of breastfeeding] are quite interesting and would make a great subject for your final work. I think women really begin to see what their breasts are for once they have and breastfeed the baby. Before that they tend to be more self-conscious about what they perceive to be their not so perfect body. Once they see the baby thriving on the milk and/or smiling heavenly at the breast, they know those breasts ARE perfect! Laurie Wheeler, IBCLC, MN, RN New Orleans Louisiana, s.e.
