how much say do you give DH in your breastfeeding decisions?

    My husband isn't very supportive about breastfeeding. He thinks it's a pain and formula would just be easier. He calls me the "baby boss" because I won't compromise on that decision. He is really uncomfortable about my breastfeeing in publi. He usually asks me to do it someplace else, like another room or the bathroom. I do sometimes, but other times I say no, I'll do it here but I will cover... He doesn't like it but I guess we're both okay enough with that arrangement.

    DH is neutral about breastfeeding. He appreciates that I do it, but if I wanted to stop he wouldn't mind. He doesn't usually say much about covering either. I am really private about it though-I go to another room if we have people over or aren't at home. I don't usually nurse with other people in the room (besides DH and DDs.) If I weren't as modest and he asked me to cover I would do it to make him comfortable- but his butt better be helping me with the cover.

    DH is extremely supportive of my choice to breastfeed our son. However he would be extremely supportive if I wanted to switch to formula. I would be uncomfortable. I, however, do not nurse because DS can not latch properly. I have to admit it would be easier to nurse then it is to pump. I can understand your husband being uncomfortable though.
