The disgruntled dad came under fire after explaining his wife wanted to phase out breastfeeding and switch to formula.
In a post shared on Twitter, he wrote:
"She has been breastfeeding for 6 months since the baby was born and now wants to switch to formula. She makes plenty of milk and everything she just says she 'feels done'."
