I'm nowhere near pregnant, but I've noticed that everyone in my husband's family who has had a baby has formula-fed their babies from birth, and neither my husband nor his siblings were breastfed either.
I want to exclusively breastfeed my future children, but it doesn't seem to be the "done thing" in my husband's family. My husband has actually looked slightly repulsed at the mention of it. (He's an otherwise wonderfully tolerant guy.)
When the time comes, I'm afraid this might be an issue. It seems like breastfeeding is a socially unacceptable thing in his family.
The last thing I want to do is turn off my husband, but I obviously want to do the best thing for our future baby. Should I stick to my guns and do what's right when the time comes?
