OP here. I won't disclose my wife's profession, but we are both in healthcare. She wanted to breastfeed but she had latch issues. Nothing worked and baby rarely breastfed. Now he is almost exclusively drinking pumped milk from the bottle because he refuses to nurse. He has only nursed successfully a handful of times when he was younger. We went to see many LC's and nothing worked. She is exclusively pumping.

I'll throw this out there. I had a kid like your kid. Until he was six months old, he rarely latched. I pumped the way your wife does. We bottle-fed him and he developed a very, very clear bottle preference. Around six months, he started being able to latch and eat. This made it so that I could do the middle of the night feeding by nursing him side-lying and we could go back to sleep that way. He would start the night in his crib and we would all wake up together in the bed.

It was sleep- and sanity-preserving and it was also really lovely time that I look back on fondly. Against a background of frustration about breastfeeding it was and is a bright spot.

Don't hustle your wife out of that possibility, OP. Just be quiet. This isn't going to last forever.

This is entirely different. OPs kid sleeps 8-7 and doesn’t need to be fed during the night.
