Tyler Baltierra welcomed his third biological daughter Vaeda earlier this year and he and Catelynn Lowell have documented their journey in adding this new family member. But it sounds like Catelynn may be facing some criticism from fans, as she will reveal that she’s struggling with breastfeeding.

In a clip, Catelynn tells her husband that she’s considering pulling the plug on breastfeeding, as it’s simply too hard. She adds that no one ever talks about the hard stuff related to breastfeeding, including how it’s painful and how it’s time-consuming. Tyler tells her that she made Vaeda and she knows what is best for her daughter.

On Twitter, Tyler continued to support his wife, revealing that Vaeda is the happiest and healthiest little baby despite not being breastfed. He adds that people shouldn’t have an opinion about another person’s child. It’s clear that he fully supports Catelynn’s decision to cut out the breastfeeding.

This is, of course, a tough conversation to have and a tough decision to share, as people can be critical. People had mixed reactions to Catelynn’s decision to stop breastfeeding.

“I breastfed all four of my kids and never once looked for applause, recognition or admiration. Does everything these dolts do require applause?” one person wrote to the MTV clip, while another added, “& imagine… I breastfed for 4 1/2 yrs straight. From 1 kid to another.. lol it is most definitely exhausting but I honestly miss that extra sacred bonded feeling you get with them. After a very recent ectopic pregnancy, I’m hoping to get my rainbow baby so I can have that again.”

Catelynn did have supporters, who argued that she tried and that’s what matters.

“You tried and that’s what matters. I breastfed my 2nd baby, my 3rd wanted nothing to do with the breast. I was scared with my 1st so never tried. You are the mom your choice on how to feed your baby,” one person wrote. Another chimed in with, “Don’t worry about what the judgy judges say, they are only talking about you to feel better about themselves. You are a great mom and you deserve to be loved and accepted, not judged!”

People are dumb it is painful and especially if you have a C-section it is triple painful and it hurts and sometimes you even dry up to where you can’t BreastFeed even though you try and try so I don’t know who’s criticizing you but to each their own if you don’t like somebody’s opinion or you don’t like somebody’s lifestyle then don’t comment on it the roads come to an evil place a harmful place for anybody and everybody and I would just tell her she’s doing great and that I wouldn’t care what anybody says cuz my husband I tell everybody if you don’t like it then you can just leave me alone and my husband says that’s the right thing to do so I would just stick by her and tell her that she’s doing great and I don’t care what anybody else tells her because she’s great mother and she knows what’s best for her child not nobody else then whoever says that they know that it’s a better for the baby or it’s better for the mom you have no right to say it because you don’t know the lifestyle you don’t know what they do everyday I got a busy lifestyle I want my husband everywhere so if you’re wanting your husband everywhere how you supposed to breastfeed how are you supposed to do stuff when you got a busy lifestyle you can’t so nobody has the right to judge unless they know that person’s lifestyle and I’m pretty sure just cuz she’s on TV she does not explore all her lifestyle on TV
