Brief Answer:
baby's sucking will stimulate milk secretion.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I understand your concerns.

Its safe to continue this intimacy (sucking your nipples) between you and your husband. But I would suggest you to avoid penetrative intercourse till your delivery as you are in third trimester of your pregnancy.

You need not stimulate your breasts for milk secretion.
The baby's sucking will itself act as a stimulus for milk secretion.
Do not worry about that.

Hope this answers your query satisfactorily.
Kindly close the discussion if you have no more queries and give your valuable feedback.

I wish you have a safe delivery and healthy baby.

Take care.
Thanks.
