Ok so probably didn't mean that he would actually leave but I feel very pressured right now to stop bf. Ds2 is only 12 months and dh says he isn't a baby anymore, of course he is and I said so.
I'm sick of him constantly going on about it and he is trying to bully me into stopping. He doesn't think he is though but says it's disgusting and that I should stop. He even asked how long I intended to feed him for to whcih I replied I didn't have a set age in mind.
Both ds2 and I are very happy with bf and the way it is going and even though he wakes 4-5 times a night to feed still I am enjoying it more than not.
I've just started training to be a bf counsellor so I know all the benefits of extended bf and have told dh but he doesn't care and says he would rather get up and give him a bottle. I said he must have issues and that it's his problem but he says he doesn't have any issues at all. Where could this feeling he has of it being disgusting come from?
Luckily my parents are very supportive and are here a lot and never make comments to me, I can sense mil thinks I am doing it for too long now and she keeps saying I'll have to put my foot down about the night wakings soon, not quite sure what she expects me to do about them though.
Sorry for long post but I'm so fed up with it and need some advice.
