How do you deal with dh/so regarding the baby...

when he says " well in my family we do it this way, so we are going to do it the same way"?

This isnt just your family anymore hun, its OUR family now, and I think the way your family does things *****

Anyone else go through this? Suggestions?

Not PG yet, but DH already told me that his mother will encourage breast feeding because she did it (not very common in the 70s). I told him to tell her to stay out of my bra - and I told him ONCE! It is not to be mentioned again regardless of what I decide to do.

Re: How do you deal with dh/so regarding the baby...

my husband and I are doing what we feel is best for our son - i chose to breastfeed even though neither my mom nor his bf. at first both mothers were put off by it - i think it's cause they wanted to feed him themselves...but now that he's gaining well, they're ok with it.

we both have things that we like and dislike about the way we were raised, so we've decided to use what we both like and figure out a different way for the things we don't like
