[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your husband is right OP. It’s not about you anymore. Welcome to motherhood![/quote] This is the absolute worst take. Breastfeeding is not for everyone and this type of pressure on moms is toxic. Fed by a happy, healthy mom is best. And that means however you choose to do it. My husband also wanted me to nurse and I tried to talk myself into it because of that kind of pressure despite knowing it wasn’t right for me. Eventually we both recognized the toll it was taking on me and we decided to switch to formula altogether. No question it was the best decision for us. I went from feeling increasingly resentful and trapped to actually enjoying my time with my baby. We went straight to formula with baby 2. Zero regrets. Do what is best for your family, and that includes taking mom into account. [/quote] This. I'd also advise you to get a new pediatrician, one who is capable of nuance, but that's a different discussion.[/quote]
