Breastfeeding: What Right Does She Have?

Question

I am believer in the benefits of breastfeeding, but my wife wants to restrict the length and frequency of breastfeedings.

There is established medical agreement that breastfeeding leads to a higher IQ, fewer ear infections, fewer allergies and even saves you money.

I would prefer to have the support of my wife in this matter. This is one of the most important factors in a marriage and helps make breastfeeding more enjoyable for everyone.

But she says that 5 times a day for half an hour is too often and too much and that she feels very tired and uncomfortable.

Does she have the right to cut down on how much of her milk I can drink?

Answer 1

absolutely not! Nurse away, you pervert

Answer 2

Despite your opinion and wishes it is your wifes body. Breastfeeding yes is great for babies but it is quite uncomfortable for mothers. Without being to graphic with regular breastfeeding a womans nipples become very sore and even develop sores. I think you are losing sight of what is important in a marriage if you think that breastfeeding is most important for your usage. It is not a common place for a husband to want to drink breastmilk and I can understand why she would be uncomfortable with this.

Answer 3

give your wife a break. beast feeding is not easy. you are right about babies benefiting from being breastfeed, but it is very tiring and time consuming. many woman also feed formula. maybe you should try getting your wife a breast pump. this way she could pump when it's convenient for her and the baby would still get the breast milk.

Answer 4

did you ever have someone sucking on your breast? well you know it can hurt. and make them sore, and can make her tired. besides the baby drinks what is needed, it should be her chose

Answer 5
