My husband has been so supportive throughout my breastfeeding journey. From waking up every 2 hours with me in those first couple weeks for night feeds to researching lactation issues and attending trainings and consults with me. Our baby lost 3lbs after birth and we had to supplement with formula. It took him 3 weeks to regain his birthweight and my supply tanked during this time without me knowing. I have worked so hard over the last 9 weeks to get my supply back enough to get our son off of formula and I would not have been able to do it without the support of my husband. He took on all bottle feeding and formula making til he went back to work and still continued to do all outside of work hours and even a few during work hours 
(works from home). He helped me research pumps, milk boosters, quality foods to eat (not junk Oreos and Dr. Pepper!). He helped me sort through the social media ridiculousness that was stressing me out so bad. He got up with the baby at 5am when I just got to go back to sleep after pumping. He made meals for me and brought me water and snacks. Some days, he made all my meals. But most importantly, he celebrated every small win with me or for me. Every extra .05oz, the first time I pumped a full oz again, the first time I had a good middle of the night pump, the first time my middle of the night pump produced 7oz, every oz of formula we got to dump each night because I pumped a little more breast milk that day and most importantly this week when we dumped a full pitcher of formula because I finally made enough milk for our son to not need any more formula. Some days I was so stressed and lost in the thoughts that I was not doing enough, I was not pumping enough, that I could not feed my baby alone, but he stayed positive and celebrated all these wins for me when I was too lost to do it on my own. He reminded me every day how far I’ve come, how hard I worked and how lucky our son was to have a mama that cared so much.
I’m so grateful for him supporting me throughout this tough journey
