[quote=Anonymous]I hear you, OP. You want him to engage about the details and validate your dedication to nursing but he has made it clear that is not going to happen.

I am sorry, I can hear that you are hurt.

I don't think this is that unusual. Find a tribe of other new moms to connect with about this and stop raising it with DH. Meet that need elsewhere.

Find other things to connect with DH about. The first year is hard. Try to have a regular date night, even twice a month, where you go out and don't talk about the baby. A strong marriage is a gift to your child.

Hang in there. It is hard, esp at first, and lonely. It sounds like nursing is improving, it should keep getting easier as the baby gets bigger and stronger. You have learned so much about something still quite new to you, in a really short time. It sounds like you put together a good team to support the nursing relationship. Let DH step out of this one.

Find ways to connect as a family that everyone is happy about, it can be so easy to have each adult spend one on one time with baby and for the family unit to not quite gel. The adult relationship needs to be nurtured too. Best to all 3 of you![/quote]
