Such a moving story. I completely understand where you are coming from. It has actually inspired me to write a post about breastfeeding. It is a topic that definitely needs more discussion and more education.
People are far to quick to pass judgment without knowing the facts.
I’m sorry your wife had to stop feeding, it is such a huge part of mothering and I myself know he pain she experienced in having to let it go.
For the mother there are so many emotions involved over it above and beyond the practicalities that a father cannot know. But, it is those practicalities that must be considered well for the best of the child.
Absolutely, it is the most emotional experience, blissful and terrifying when things don’t work the way you want. I often felt for my partner as well as he could not fully understand the emotions as much as he tried. He was brilliant when I had to stop feeding our first little one. Clearly you supported your wife and supported her in doing what was best for baby. That’s all anyone can ask.
