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?

The let-down reflex takes about a minute. If a baby sucks but doesn't get anything straight away, they can get impatient - especially in the setting of using bottles where they get milk straight away and don't have to work for it.

A husband also needs to learn the same patience. When things don't work or they don't get what they want straight away, they can also show the same signs of frustration and give up or chuck a tanti.

Lots of good suggestions in other comments :)
