Since it goes against what all the latest studies show what is best for the Child. Though that doesn't mean you still have a breastfeed the whole time. You can just as easily pump and dump and give the milk in a bottle.

And I wasn't taking you to task.
I probably know more about breastfeeding than any guy should. Definitely more than any non parent guy should.
I'll admit, I was breastfed till about 1.4 years. But I was born with a significant defect. The cardiologist told my mom to do it as long as she could, but then she got preggers with my sis.
In healthy babies, you need to split the need for bonding and nourishment, with the lessons of independence. If you wanna pump that's fine, but you gotta start weening sometime.
I'm not even saying this for optics (which can get weird enough, believe me) but more for the development of the child. Go out, live, learn, play. And take your bottle with you. Whether it's formula, or mommies juice.
