It’s not up to your husband. It’s your body and some women just don’t like breastfeeding. Neither my MIL or SIL liked it, so my husband wasn’t a fan when I told him I would be doing it, unless I can’t. I was the one feeding, so I got the choice. Your mental health is worth far more than what your husband thinks you should do on this matter.
You can always pump And do formula at the same time🫶🏼 but it is not up to your husband decision if it’s affecting your mental health.. but if he strongly encourages you to atleast give the baby some natural milk then just tell him you’ll just pump if that’s what you’re most comfortable with since the natural milk nutrients is really important for baby and also giving formula to make sure your baby is eating enough and gaining more weight ! 🫶🏼✨ I do both formula and breastfeeding!! ✨😊 bc formula helps him gain healthy weight!
Fuck what your husband thinks, sorry to be so bitchy about it. I personally didn't breastfeed due to knowing I couldn't mentally handle it. It's your body not his and make that known to him if he doesn't respect it then he knows where the door is.. you could try exclusively pumping for a while and if you feel like you can't handle that then switch to formula, at the end of the day it's about your health and mental health to and if your husband makes you feel guilty about it then you need to question your marriage with him. My little one is on formula and she is thriving!
I love BF but not everyone does. I agree with the others, husband can stick it. I'm so sorry he's putting so much pressure on you and not helping that's horrible. I had pressure to bottle feed but this is probably worse
Respectfully, it's your body, not your husband's. Your mental health is important. If you want formula, she should have formula.
I'm curious why your husband wants you to and what he thinks is being gained from it over your mental health? You've got to do what's best for you and your baby, no one else!
I think breastfeeding choices should be down to the mother ❤️
It's you that has to go through it, not your husband, it should be up to you what you do with your body and he should respect that. There are benefits of breast milk so you could try pumping so you get a break but at the end of the day fed is best
