I'm only 23 weeks at this point with my first, and fully intend to breast feed, my mum EBF all 5 of us and my sister has with her 3 so not worried about support or anything.
DP has expressed some disappointment at not being able to feed baby and has asked if i could maybe express enough to do 1 night feed per day, my sister has already offered a hand pump that she bought that she only used a few times and I thought I would have a go and see how i get on. We are looking for a breast shaped bottle and DP's sister has offered a steriliser.
When I mentioned this to my mother she said this was selfish! She went into a lot of reasons to do with how difficult it is to pump and how it's not fair to baby to make it drink from a bottle and its not sterile anymore because it has to go into a bottle and how difficult it is to store the milk and saying it would interfere with supply if i pump so i would start producing less. She has a history of objecting to DP's ideas and he has had to give way with some other things he wanted, so i'm not sure if she is being unresonable because of her dislike of DP or if she is having valid objections.
