I don't know if anyone remembers but I've had a lot of problems with DH regarding bfing - he doesn't want me to do it. We mixed fed ds until he gave up bfing at around 6-8 weeks (I wanted to continue but dh, HV and MIL said 'it's for the best' no comment) and this time I've been determined to bf.
She had one bottle a night until around 2 months when I was sick of it and told dh he could no longer give her a bottle, I was constantly paranoid about my supply and I wanted her to be exclusively bf. No reason for her to have bottles. He said she'd never sleep through - not that she was anyways - and her sleeping pattern remainded the same, if not slightly improved.
He's been adamant over the last few months we should be giving her bottles, but I've kept him nearly on side with bribing him and saying it would only be until 6 months (which was the minimum I wanted to do it.) He was adamant at 5 months we should be weaning her off bf, with bottles (uhh not waiting until 6 months then duh) and since 3 months him and MIL have been on at me to wean her. Apparently she's starving, every time she cries it's because I'm starving her.
Over the last 30-odd hours she's been vomiting her feeds. Had a small temp yesterday, fine today just sicky. Apparently it's because 'she wants more food than milk so is having too much milk and throwing it up'
I've nearly had enough of him, really. I've told him about blw and he thinks it's hippy bollocks. And MIL was entrusted with dd for the first time for 5 hours the other day - and fed her RUSK. As she wouldn't take a bottle. RUSK. Of all the shit. Didn't phone, didn't even ask if she could have some nice pureed sodding veg. RUSK.
