[quote=Anonymous] The best thing you can do is stop worrying about what other people think about ANY of your parenting choices. And you don’t have to defend yourself to anyone.

I would suggest that you find someone to mediate a conversation with your husband though, to help him learn how to be supportive of you.  He needs a little refresher on what it means to listen as a partner.

I did choose to breast-feed and I did so for three years. But I don’t think that anyone should if they’re not feeling like that’s the right choice for them.  And just like I would say to a breast-feeding mom it’s no one else’s business what you decide to do and how you feed your baby, feed your baby the way that makes sense for your family (that’s you, your baby, and your partner).

Ps: You could always donate those breast-feeding supplies and send a thank you note to in-laws as to  where  you donated them.  It’s a little passive aggressive, but they’re making assumptions without checking in with you, or outright ignoring your intentions, so maybe that’s not so bad. [/quote]
