LO is almost 4 weeks old and we've been doing a few bottles of pumped milk to give me a break, spend time with our older daughter, and let DH feed. LO is in that fussy cluster feeding stage but takes a bottle just fine. DH was all about this originally but has been having a challenging time when they're together because baby typically is hard to soothe without the boob. I am enjoying the break but he said last night he feels it's "too soon" for LO to be separated like this from me.

I disagree, and have tried to tactfully explain we can't just pump him full of milk just because I'm not there. He needs to learn to soothe him. At one point he gave him 3.5 ounces in a 2 hr period when I had just nursed before I handed him off - although it was a fussy evening time. With my older daughter she would take about an ounce or so an hour when I was away at work split in 3 or 3.5 ounce bottles, starting at 3 months.

How would you approach this? Just leave more milk? Drop the issue for a few weeks? I have help some days from our moms so I could just keep the bottle feeding going with them, but I'm just rubbed the wrong way by DH in this situation and would rather we find a cooperative solution, but not sure which of us has the right approach to this issue.
