If you keep on this way about breastfeeding, I wouldn’t count on your husband being enthusiastic about signing up for another baby with you…[/quote]

THIS. OP, to go back to your original question, just stop complaining to your husband and start spending less time nursing and more time pumping. Your husband views ALL the time you spend nursing and ALL the time you spend complaining as a total waste of time because there is an alternative. And he's probably pissed that you are constantly hogging the baby, so he doesn't even get to hold and snuggle the baby when he's home since you are breastfeeding ALL THE TIME. You don't want to formula feed, and that's your choice, but if you want to stop arguing with your husband, you need to FIX the problem. And the best way to fix the problem is to start pumping and bottle feeding more (PLEASE let your husband do the feeding when he is home so he gets time with the baby), and stop complaining about breastfeeding constantly.

I answered your question, you're going to argue with me, but I bet the vast majority of EXPERIENCED moms on here will agree with me that if you're not going to use formula, what I suggest is the best way to do it.[/quote]
