My husband received the book "The Expectant Father" as a gift from two different men. He also attended childbirth and breastfeeding classes with me. We've had plenty of problems since our son was born, but he has always provided the support I have needed with breastfeeding. I agree with @Nana_Osaki06‌ about the ring sling. The only benefit the Ergo has over the ring sling (when it comes to nursing) is a hood that snaps in place. It keeps Mr. Noseypants' attention on his milk.

You are able to nurse in the Ergo? Sweet! Someone bought it off my registry so I'm super excited!

JEPES1348 Wow, that is really awesome!  Sounds like a tough thing to do, but you are a great mother for doing it!

@jcwinsto I think MH is just so clueless about BFing and babies in general....I mean, there are plenty of women who don't know much about BFing so it doesn't surprise me that he doesn't know anything.  He sincerely thought EP was easier, but I explained to him it's not as efficient, etc. I will be doing some pumping b/c I would like him to feed the baby in the evenings so they have bonding time and if I continue to BF after maternity leave, obviously I will have to pump at work.  I think that he would be supportive, as at the beginning of my pregnancy he was clueless as to why I wanted a doula for a VBAC and the more he learns, the more supportive he is of my birthing wishes.  I think he just needs a bit of education on how BFing actually works.

Yup, this was MH exactly.  Clueless about EVERYTHING baby related. But luckily he has been really good at listening cuz lord knows he doesn't do the research himself.
