[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][i]I say this as a woman who breastfed (for a while): If you do exclusive breastfeeding you are setting yourself up for a "Mom does everything" dynamic from the get-go.[/i]

This right here.

In terms of “what happened?” I’d argue a push to breastfeed is one of main drivers of inequality.  The mom is the only one who can feed the baby and is in charge of feeding the baby.  Meaning she takes on the emotional labor of when to feed.

I completely disagree.  Y'all just married terrible husbands and come from dysfunctional families. OMG!

I EBF for 9 months and breastfed for 3 yrs.  My DH was my rock who took care of most of the household chores for the longest time, arranged the outsourcing etc, on a very tight budget, so that I could breastfeed.  I pumped one feed so that he could do the 4am feed in the morning and could sleep in. I am shocked to hear ho little DHs are helping. Yikes.   Also I am a sahm.  Only women disparage my choice.  Not only the choice to be a  sahm, but they are usually pissed that my DH helps at home a lot.
