LO is 4 months old now. She is really interested in everything around her and loves to put things in her mouth. She is especially fascinated by watching us eat.
OH keeps telling me about how he can't wait to feed her. She is breastfed and doesn't like bottles, so I can understand that OH wants to get involved. I try to encourage him to play with her, give her her bath, etc. But he keeps coming back to the food thing. EVERY DAY.
I really don't want to wean LO early. I don't see any benefits for her, only risks.
I really want to do BLW. OH says he agrees, but he doesn't want to miss out on the fun of spoon-feeding her.
OH has almost always let me take the decisions regarding the baby. I decided to breastfeed and use cloth diapers. I did all the shopping and decorated the nursery. Now that he wants to get involved, I find it hard to say no.
What's worst is that we see his best friend all the time, and he always goes to him for advice. This friend weaned his son at 4 months, so I know he'll take OH's side.
Not sure what to do.
