I’m pissed

I’ve been there. But different. Breast feeding does make it feel like it falls solely on the woman. Your connection with the baby at this time is so strong and the father sometimes doesn’t get to feel that connection. He needs to hold the baby skin to skin some possibly pump breast milk and have him cover at least one feeding during the night so you can rest. Don’t expect him to do it without you asking or making him. Some men just don’t know how to help.. really they don’t help unless they’re asked. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Girl???! Start pumping that milk and see if baby will take to a bottle and have him do a night so you can rest!! babies are shared responsibility between both parents exclusively breast feeding or not! If you’re not comfortable with giving baby your milk through a bottle and prefer straight from the boob, have him do nappies, bath time, soothing to sleep, day time entertainment between feeds so you can get some rest! babies are hard bloody work and should not be put onto one singular person! as for all the free time he gets, make sure you’re going out with friends and family with baby so that they can help take over a little bit, or have them at yours! i hope you’re okay this sounds heavy x

I’d be absolutely fuming too 😭🤍 Just because you’re exclusively breastfeeding doesn’t mean everything else should fall on you! He might not be able to feed the baby, but he can change nappies, settle him, do baths and give you time to shower or just have a break. It’s not fair that he gets hours to himself every weekend while you’re running on no sleep. I’d definitely have a proper conversation with him when he’s sober because you deserve some time to yourself too. And honestly, if he’s been drinking, he shouldn’t be responsible for sleeping with the baby either. You can’t keep pouring from an empty cup 🥺🤍
