Ex wants to give formula to breastfed baby

[Newname2345]

Split with ex before baby was born, now 5mo. He has now said he wants contact for a whole day despite being breastfed. I’ve explained he feeds regularly still so offer frequent contact (x4 weekly) of 2 hours around feeds.

He has said that it’s my choice to breastfeed and he can feed how he likes during his time, which will be a bottle of formula (I can’t express enough).

AIBU to say no to this?

ZOMBIE THREAD. OP left thread back in march folks.

It’s not the fact you were married he went on birth certificate it’s the fact he’s the babies dad he’s on there!

Just realised this is an old thread 🤦‍♀️

@Coconutter24 if the parents aren’t married, the mother has to register the birth.

If the father goes with her he will be on the birth certificate, if not he won’t be (I think unless he goes to some lengths to be added).

If the parents are married the father can register the birth.

If a woman has a baby with someone who is showing all signs of being a deadbeat dad, she would likely find her life much easier not having him on the birth certificate and using PR as a stick to beat her with.

OP’s reply suggests she may not have had him on the birth certificate if she had had the choice.

In any case yes it is an old thread but not ancient so I hope things have improved for OP.
