If he starts an anti breastfeeding group, let us know, we might have something to say to him to.:

You might want to go to the Parents as Partners forum, too, to see if they have any suggestions about what to do if your dh/partner is unsupportive of bf.

but I have to call CPS on you because I find it highly inappropriate that you chose to marry a baby

(on second thought, scratch that, he's not a baby. Babies are pro-boob. He's just a douchebag.)

BTDT w/ my dh. What turned him around on things was going to an Area LLL conference. Can you hang out w/ other parents like you IRL? Do you go to LLL meetings, functions or a similar group?

Good luck!

Gah...you are a much better person than I....even the long walk off a short pier remark was too polite for me. {{{{{{{{{{{{{{BIG HUG}}}}}}}}}}}}} for standing up for what you know is right!

I'm so sorry that your husband said those things to you! Maybe after he has a chance to cool down, he'll apologize.

(My dh is the same way about buying healthier foods that are more expensive... "$1.20 for Annie's Organic Spaghetti Rings!!!! Here's Walmart brand for 60 cents." ARGH!)

Thanks for the hugs guys. I live in a pretty mainsteram area. People look at me like I have to heads when I talk about orgainics, breastfeeding past 6 months, etc. I'm pretty alone here.

I am going to search out and LLL, I hadent before because I thought LLL was for people who needed help with BF.

I doubt DH would ever start any group, but I would divorce him if he did. For sure.

To top off the bad day DH came home with pretty much every crap food you could purchase from the grocery store. Just to spite me. Little debbies, white bread, multicolor sugar captain crunch junk. 2 cartons of the most chemical laden ice cream I could imagine, I think the whole thing was artificial. AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH he is such a pig!:

Yes, get thee to LLL. It is *not* just for problems, it's mother-to-mother support for breastfeeding, and often attracts people with more naturally inclined perspectives.

And if my dh came home with that kind of "food", just to spite me, I'd be tempted to throw it out. I don't allow that kind of sh*t in my house!

Sweetie~~
I see your are LDS..or I'm just assuming with your quote in your siggie...
Do a FHE lesson on the word of wisdom....I'm finding more and more how wonderful the word of wisdom is in regards to eating.
Maybe a lesson on prepardness and link breastfeeding to being prepared...heaven forbid a natural disaster and no water, breastfeeding to me is part of the word of wisdom and emergency prepardness. Heck I convinved FF moms in my ward to breasfeed because I approach the subject as a prepardness tool.

Most of all pray, my dh is pretty main stream and rolls his eyes at times when I start talking about breastfeeding but now that I'm still nursing my 3rd child, he is long over trying to ever start anything with me. I'm sure he's picked up on quite a bit of breastfeeding knowlegde over the years.
Just keep praying that his heart will soften and maybe leave the quote I have in my siggie around somewhere...lol

That does sound a bit selfish and childish. Have you told him about all of the benefits of breastfeeding for you and the baby as well as how dangerous formula can be? If you have, and he still is against it, I think someone needs to learn to put baby FIRST. :P

Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry!

Ask him if he'd be willing to have a calm talk with you about breastfeeding and healthy food. Tell him it's important to you. Tell him how it makes you feel when he shows such disrespect toward your choices. Explain your reasons for choosing breastfeeding and healthy foods.

If he's unable to have a reasonable discussion between the two of you, tell him you want both of you to go to a counselor together.
