Despite the doctors’ strict advice against breastfeeding due to the wife’s pernicious anemia, the girlfriend went to extreme lengths to convince her otherwise.

Boundaries Crossed and Trusting Doctors ⚕️

From giving her books and inviting her to support groups, to soliciting milk donations from strangers, this woman just wouldn’t take no for an answer. The husband finally put his foot down and declared her unwelcome in their home. Now, they’re focusing on trusting their doctors and ignoring the haters.
