[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We should counter the "breast is best" campaign with a "formula is fine" campaign. [/quote]

Well it is fine, and I DO think breastfeeding is bad for dads, on the whole. But that doesn't really have anything to do with the benefits of breastfeeding or why it's encouraged. I think it just means we need to have more conversations about the impact on dad and study strategies for helping.

For example I hated pumping, but I always pumped one bottle a day for my husband to do at night. This helped with my sleep, for sure, and also was VERY important imo for their bonding and my husband's sense of...not "ownership" but I'm struggling to find the word. If we do it again, I might make that at least two bottles and do combo feeding so I didn't have to pump. But for the first one that was all very fraught for me because I was so worried about supply, mastitis, etc.

Something I've realized about my DH is that he is really a terrible cohabitation partner. He is so lazy and selfish around the house. I really hate it. But it's my only complaint. As soon as we are away from the house, I can mostly put it behind me. So I'm trying to frame it that way in my head, and focus on outsourcing. It is tough though. [/quote]
