Sex. After. Baby.These three words are spoken in hushed voices over playdates and at playgrounds. But while we may whisper them to our closest girlfriends, or joke about them after one too many beers with the guys, when it comes to talking with our partners about what's really going on (or not going on, as the case may be) in our child-proofed bedrooms, more and more of us find ourselves tongue-tied and tiptoeing. Are you part of the "sleepless, sexless" club?
You just might be, if
You'd rather just go to bed than go to bed with your partner.
The mind-blowing sex you once had now just blows.
The TV is turned on more than you are.
A playdate sounds better to you than yet another bad date night.
The baby gets more kisses and cuddles than you do.
You're beaten down from always having to initiate sex.
Foreplay has become chore-play.
"Let's get it on" are now fighting words.
But it doesn't have to be this way. According to bestselling author Ian Kerner, Ph.D., and "naughty mommy" Heidi Raykeil, it really is possible to do the hokey pokey and keep up the hanky panky. Ian and Heidi often bring very different perspectives, but they agree that sex matters . . . a lot. It's the glue that holds couples together and keeps lovers from becoming simply roommates or co-parents. Funny and frank, Love in the Time of Colic will help parents take the charge out of this once-taboo subject, and put it back where it belongs—in the bedroom.
Love in the Time of Colic: The New Parents' Guide to Getting It On Again Reviews

Horrible, horrible book. I received this as a gift after I had my son. I thought it was going to be a humorous but helpful book about finding time as a couple and maybe a bunch of entertaining anecdotes about when the kid wakes up or something. What it ended up being was a poorly written (heavy on the cheesy puns and hasty gender stereotypes) book about how to understand both perspectives of the new parents - which seems to be that men want sex because they miss the intimacy of just being close to you, and women don't ever want to have sex again because they have been "over touched" all day by the baby (which they love but now have nothing left for their man).
Maybe the book improves later on (I could only get about halfway through the 2nd chapter.), but I just couldn't take any more. -
This book was not very well written. It also didn't really apply to me. I felt that it was for a woman who did not want to get back into the sack after a baby and that was not me...I was just looking for some tips to spice things up after baby and tips on how to find time to connect after baby. This is definitely not a book for you if that is what you want. It made the women look like sexless nags who just give in to the men because they are married and feel an obligation. That certainly was/is not my marriage and I feel awful for people who have marriages like that!

Uf, omg, konečně to mám za sebou. Tohle byla vyhraná knížka, sama bych si to stěží kdy koupila, ale když už jsem v té inkriminované situaci, říkala jsem si, třeba tam najdu něco na inspiraci. Aniprt, jak by řekly Opráski, jen hromada rozvláčných a třikrát zopakovaných keců ve stylu "povídejte si" a "najděte si čas na sebe". Palec dolů.

Pretty hilarious book on marriage after baby.
-
Very insightful read. Would recommend it for every couple with a new baby in the house. The commentary and suggestions are relevant to today's world which helps make it this an enjoyable book.
-
Stopped reading about 1/4 way thru. WAY too many cliches that I was more annoyed than enlightened. Not helpful. Just lame. -
Just so-so. Not as helpful as I would have hoped. It's like how to win friends and influence people: marriage and baby edition. I liked the personal stories and the q/a section at the end.
