Spouses and feeding time
Do any of ladies have husbands or boyfriends who don’t/ won’t feed the baby ? My boyfriend says because he’s so big and she so little that it’s hard for him to sit her upright to feed her sometimes (she’s 2 weeks old) I guess he’s scared because he says whenever he feeds her she starts choking and coughing a little bit so he always passes her to me to feed her stating that I just do it better because she basically fits perfect in my arm and I’m able to adjust her for eating better. But he has no problem helping out in basically every other area taking care of me and her. He makes bottles, changes diapers, holds her a lot, talks to her lays her on his chest for skin to skin. So I know it’s not like he’s avoiding bond time or taking care of her. It’s just he doesn’t like feeding her
No. Give baby back to him and make him learn to handle this from now. Get that fear out the way immediately. This sounds like when we are younger and we say our younger siblings make the lemonade best, so they should do it. The whole time, we are just lazy. Save yourself and tell him he needs to get involved feeding. Show him how and walk away. If you have an emergency, what will he do? He needs to learn.
