When my boys were infants, neither would latch on. It must be hereditary because when I was a baby I couldn't suck from a bottle and had to be "taught." Anyway, all my friends with children breastfed and belonged to breastfeeding groups. We lived near Boulder, Colorado so you can imagine the stigma of not being a crunchy mama. I tried pumping as long as I could, which was about 3 months with both boys. But I learned also, like your wife, to give up explaining. In fact, I've stopped explaining myself to most people about everything now. They can think what they want; they don't know and it's not my job to inform them or worry about them.
