Hey MizzB
I’M a 25-year-old married woman with a three-year-old daughter. I’m still breastfeeding.
My husband and I share a bed with her. We always make sure she’s asleep before we have sex, but the other night she caught us in the act.
She told my mum what she had seen. I worry this may scare her. What do I tell her?

Have an age-appropriate conversation with her about sex so she understands its value. Send a Please Call Me to 083 323 1023 or email [email protected]
