Husband saying I’m selfish for BF baby

Just looking for some support…not getting any at home. Between us me and my other half have now 5 children. As far as I know the other 3 children were basically brought up by him. Now we have a child together and culturally I should BF with my son I didn’t make enough milk so had to combine. Now I have enough to feed our little one who so far has refused bottles (tongue tie now cut but still refusing) and I’m being told I am being controlling and only thinking about my feelings and not his. I’ve offered him nappy changes, bath time I waited weeks for him to do this and in the end gave up….I've sobbed and sobbed as I really don’t want to give formula…I’ve started expressing but struggling with the machine…and I’m unsure if she will even take it from a bottle as when we’ve tried before she gags and refuses it to the point where she gets herself in such a state she throws up digested milk.
I just want someone else’s view from mums side and especially a dads side really.

please please help one struggling confused mummy.

I despise men like this.

My ex-husband did this to me. He used to regularly say things along the lines of ‘it’s not fair as you can do this and I can’t’ and ‘imagine how I must feel not being able to do this.’ His mum also hated me BF. We split when my daughter was 2. He moved hundreds of miles away but still insisted on her travelling hours each weekend so he could have ‘his time’ with her. Everything was about him and looking back he was emotionally and financially abusive throughout our marriage. Be careful OP.
