I have told him that it has made me feel guilty and I am only doing it to keep him happy but he kind of just brushes that aside and makes comments like 'But look at how clever our daughter is, that's down to you feeding her your milk even though it was hard work'. In his own way I suppose he is trying to be encouraging but it always just comes across like he will think badly of me if I decide to stop giving him my milk.
I expected to come across some judgement from midwives and health workers etc about my decision to FF but I wasn't prepared for the comments my husband has made. If anything I actually felt very supported whilst in hospital - several midwives asked why I was FF and when I explained they all said 'Fair enough, I can understand why you don't feel comfortable with BF'. Why can't my Husband see it like that?
