There is nothing to be embarrassed about.
It's a normal physiological response to lactation hormones. Breastfeeding feels good! If it didn't, very few mothers would do it. It might help to understand just what hormonal responses are taking place.
As your baby nurses, prolactin - known as the "mothering hormone" - stimulates the body to manufacture milk. This hormone gives you a feeling of relaxation and well-being. Oxytocin, another hormone secreted during breastfeeding, causes the alveoli to contract, releasing milk into the ducts, the milk sinuses, and your baby's mouth. This hormone is responsible for the tingling sensation some mothers feel before a milk ejection reflex, or letdown, and the postpartum uterine cramping felt while breastfeeding.
Oxytocin also causes labor contractions during childbirth and pleasure contractions during orgasm. Varying amounts of oxytocin are attributed to these different contractions. The arousal you describe while nursing may also be the result of the empowerment and satisfaction you feel knowing that you are meeting all of your daughter's nutritional and emotional needs at the breast.

I am somewhat surprised by the negative answers. I am now a "grandmother", but, when my daughter was a baby, 20-some-years ago, I remember having the same feelings when I breast fed. You are normal! It's a normal physiological response!

Thank you!
I felt the arousal, too. I think the arousal is hormonal and I did not think there was anything odd about it. My thoughts were pure as I was looking down into the face of complete innocence to which I had given birth, but still my body was experiencing odd things as milk was flowing through my breasts and hormones were still raging. After all the weird changes our bodies went through during pregnancy, shouldn't we all be used to our bodies doing weird things by now? By the end of my pregnancy, I would not have been surprised if another set of ears had grown out of my own head. Also, from everything I have read, every pregnancy is different, even different pregnancies for the same woman. So, wouldn't you think that range of experiences would continue after birth, when our bodies are still going through changes, especially if breastfeeding? Different women have different experiences and that does not make them bad or wrong, as long as baby is happy, is loved and is healthy.
