Totally agree. Father of five here. The pressure placed on my wife by health visitors that breast is best lead to some difficult conversations. For some new mothers, getting some sleep and having their parntner do a formula feed is imperative when breast feeding isn't working.
The all natural rhetoric around pregnancy, child birth and infant feeding is so damaging and definitely contributes to cases of PPD, women should be free to choose how to birth and feed their babies without other people trying to sway their decision
