hows your husband handling it?

edited September 2011 in Breastfeeding
I've been thinking of trying breast feeding when I have my daughter. And I was wondering how does your husband handle it,how do you get rest with you being the only one who can feed. (till you can pump) so how about when you leave the house?

  • My hb is happy and so proud of me !!
  • He was very supportive because we had a preemie and it protected our son from illnesses formula fed preemies were prone too. He was ok with me just being able to feed our son, lol mostly so he could sleep. But I didn't blame him he had crazy work hours
  • You can pump from day one. When I'm In class or at work I usually pump and he feeds lo with a syringe and daddy finger (let's him suck on his finger while dripping the milk through the corner of his mouth. We just tried to introduce the bottle at 6 weeks and he hated it.
