[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your husband is right OP. It’s not about you anymore. Welcome to motherhood![/quote]

It’s not his call unless he’s producing milk from his own nipples.

Welcome to self-esteem and not choosing to be a mommy martyr![/quote]

NP. This is such a flippant answer. My DH would have LOVED to be the pregnant one, and would have loved to bf. Some guys just love being dads. Since the dad is doing EVERYTHING, I don’t feel that this a control issue, but a supportive partner who feels strongly about the real benefits of bf.

OP, I agree with the pp who said give it four more weeks.

I have done both full bf and full formula. BF is harder now, but it’s so, so, so much easier later. Give it a try for Future You. Future You might prefer to just rush out the door with a diaper and wipes, rather than also packing bottles of water and formula. Future You might not want to wash bottles when you can spend that time with your baby. (Six month old humans are the absolute best.) Future You might want the reduction in breast cancer incidence among moms who bf at least two years. Give Future You four more weeks.[/quote]

Ugh. You Breastfeeding Is Best For All zealots are so tiresome.  :roll: [/quote]
