When to have sex after childbirth?

 

Short answer -> After 6 weeks (or, more time later, read the details below):
Not only sexual desire or vitality in the birth of children, but also the attitude towards sex can change. So it is up to the couple to decide when to resume sex. Many people say that it is better to start having sex 6 weeks after the birth of a child, while others say that it can be started only after waiting for more than 6 weeks. Sexual intercourse should start after you are physically and mentally ready for sexual intercourse.

It may not be reasonable to set aside the same amount of time for everyone. Simply put, both of them think it's appropriate. Some people think that 6 weeks is the best time to start having sex. Some have decided not to wait for six weeks, while others have decided to wait even longer. At this time, instead of engaging in sexual activities, they should be close to each other by loving, talking, touching and hugging each other.

Physical or mental causes after childbirth - Effects on sexual life
