Breastfeeding

I am sorry to hear what you are going through. I think he doesn't know the word family mean and the first 3 alphabets stand for. The first 3 alphabets stand for Father And Mother. I don't think he is doing his duty and responsibilities as a father and husband, hope I am wrong. If to be a father is just to be a sperm donor and some money back to the family, then I guess most women don't need to get married. He also doesn't know how tough and sacrifices made when a woman gets pregnant. He also doesn't know that when a woman is giving birth, she is one leg stepping into the coffin. The words he used on you and attitude towards you are unacceptable. Choose an appropriate time to talk to him and tell him how you feel. You may refer to the following link for counseling: https://www.msf.gov.sg/policies/Marriages/Pages/Marriage-Counselling.aspx It takes two hands to work towards a happy family. You can't do it alone; your child and you will never be happy if you think just suffer and sacrifice silently for the sake of your child. Hope he will change and he truly loves you and your child. Take care.

Oh dear.... I am so speechless when I read this but feels so mad for you. If only men knows how tough breastfeeding is, they won't say what they have said. I will walk out if I were you. Giving birth is already extremely painful + breastfeeding + the exhaustion & lack of sleep, I don't need any f***ing husband to cuss at me for doing my job as a mother. I will seriously walk out and move in with my parents. I rather not have a stupid husband who only knows how to donate his sperm but not doing his job as a father. This... This is why many new mummies have depression. All we need/all they need is understanding and empathy. Being a mother is a tough job but we still chose to do it anyway. Hugs to you! Gather your courage. You don't need to be in a marriage/family with someone/in-laws who does not appreciate you.

Well, I feel you, cause I was tanking most of the feeding and cuddling of baby for 5 months before I went berserk and gave him a crazy bitch fit mode. All that being said, it’s important for you to delegate duties to daddy and include them in baby’s journey. Also, be open to communicating about your feelings to in law as well as your husband, and see what can be arranged or worked out. As the saying goes, it takes the whole village to raise a child. We still have arguments from time to time, but the emotional aspect of our family is stable and enjoy each other’s companionship :)

actually you can try to breast feed in demand to calm your baby down it might help. I pump during the day when there's someone look after and I nurse and haakaa during the night. it's much easier. actually motherhood taught me 5o be stronger afterall not everyone understands the bf journey and even they understand not everyone will be supportive and help out

It's really feel sad to hear about you. The best thing to do is to ask your husband what their concerns are. If they have a valid concern, you should address it and see if there is a way to fix it. If they don't have a valid concern, then you should continue breastfeeding because it is important for your child's health.
