I have a strong suspicion that DH has forgotten how much a newborn needs feeding - I'm happy to follow DH with regard to feeding when DS2 is older (around 4-6 mths old or more) but not when DS2 is this young. He's concerned that DS2 will turn out like DS1 with not going to sleep without feeding and not sleeping through until after 2 (DS1 didn't have that many sleeping issues except that it went to pieces at 5 1/2 mths and took quite some time to settle down again); nevermind that not sleeping through is normal up to 3/4 years old.
DS2 is also not up much yet and I've been seeing to DS2 mostly and DH hasn't done much at home with DS2 yet as it's been bf and sleeping mostly still and not much awake time so he can't really interact with him much. Also doesn't help that DH has just swapped careers from retail to tour-guiding (after completing study) and isn't really working yet and so doesn't have any set work to yet to look forward to which means he's not out the house much.
TFB - we decided bfing was good for DS1 and DS2 and I didn't want to do ff unless I really had to (I'm lazy like that ) and I know that I should demand feed to keep my supply up so for me it's a no brainer to offer DS2 a feed when he's awake, he won't take it if he's not interested.
