You have a 3 month old, and have enough time and energy to have sex EVERY DAY?! I can't believe it...and I am speaking from experience, as I have a 2 month old baby (2nd child).
I am being skeptical, but do you want to have sex every day, or are you wanting your husband to show you affection and some sort of physical intimacy every day (meaningful kiss, playful grab of a body part, etc)?
Either way, you are needing more affection from your husband, and he may not be able to give it right now. He has a new baby, his first, and he is most likely drained--emotionally, physically, psychologically--every way there IS to feel drained. This is perfectly normal, and expected, as babies take up so much of us, but give us so much in return.
Are you still feeling depressed? Have you spoken with your OB/GYN about your feelings?
Why do you feel that your husband needs to prove his love to you physically, at this point in your lives together? Are there other areas on your lives that you feel unloved by him? I can't imagine it would be your post-pregnancy weight, but being a new parent is so overwhelming, and perhaps you can start by asking how he is feeling from being a parent, working full-time (I assume?), still trying to meet other obligations, etc. He may be too exhausted to even think about being physically intimate at this time!
