Well, I for one am glad that you two can discuss this in such an open way.
It is not uncommon for some men to be uncomfortable with the whole nursing
thing. AND, it is not uncommon for them to adjust to the idea once the
little one arrives. So, his opinion may change once the major disruption
and all the changes that a pregnancy brings about are behind you and your
little bundle is actually here and not just a vision. The concept is quite
different from the reality.

Best wishes and happy parenthood to you both!

Lynda
