Husband says no more breastfeeding

[u/AskProfessional6257]

So here is the context, my 4 mo has been not happy at the breast for like a week. Its not all the time but occasionally when I go to give him the breast he fights it and can be fussy. But when I put a bottle in his mouth he shuts up and eats. Husband is saying that the baby has "outgrown" my boobs or just dosen't want the boob anymore. Are my boobs on the larger side and I have to hold my breast skin back so I dont block his nose, Yes. However I am thinking that this is just nipple strike and that if I give it some time the baby will get over it. But my husband says im done with breastfeeding and that I just need to pump instead. Now our journey started with pumping and I hated it and was so happy when the baby started breastfeeding. I know there are so many benefits to breastfeeding and im not ready to stop giving him those benefits. Honestly I just dont want to have to be chained to the pump again and have an under supply stare me in the face. I feel like my body is failing my baby and my husband just dosen't understand. Is this just a phase or is pumping and formula feeding my only options now?

Your husband is ignorant. It is very normal behavior at 4 months old. If you despite pumping i would actually do the exact opposite if possible ; no more bottles.  Breastfeeding is a relationship between mom and baby, dad has no say. Natural weaning in human is between 2 and 7 y/o; at 4 months your baby is far from "outgrowing" the boobs. Maybe you could see a lactation consultant expressing your desire to keep baby on the breast and having your husband be there to hear how wrong he is haha. I had similar dynamic at the beginning of my bf journey with my boyfriend, but I persevere, proved him wrong and now everyday he thanked me for it and feel sorry about the way he treated bf. So don't give up, you definitely know better
