[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So glad that I had a DH who supported my BFing in all ways and did not have a negative attitude. I am glad he put my wishes and the welfare of the baby first and did not mind if he was inconvenienced.

OP gives me the creeps for being a cold husband and father. Not an ounce of empathy for what the wife is going through. Terrible husband and father material. I wonder how some women choose to marry such men?  Oh wait, there is another thread about how Lee Malvo married in prison. I guess there is a shoe for every foot!![/quote]
I completely disagree. He’s not negative; he’s realistic that pumping is negatively affecting his wife’s mental and physical health. [/quote]

+1. Her pumping and not being able to do anything else for the baby is taking its toll on OP and the baby. People shouldn't be pumping to prove something (eg: I am a good mom if I forced myself to pump and feed my kid those few ounces of breast milk because it is beneficial to him. If I don't do that I fail as a mom).

I wasn't able to breast feed my DC. The amount of time it took to pump for a few oz of milk, combined with the difficulty my preemie had with latching when trying to breast feed made me give it up in a month. My DC is fine I think. And no, I do not feel like a failure as a mom. I did my best. The only thing I feel is I missed out on the mother/baby closeness while breast feeding.

OP, talk with her in a supportive and encouraging way like a PP said and state your feelings on the subject. It can't go on like this for her or for you if it brings so much stress. It is unhealthy mentally and physically. Make sure she knows you are there whatever she decides.
