Breastfeeding is an oddly contentious subject. Babies require nutrition, and parents who prefer to breastfeed should be able to do so wherever they wish. However not all mothers are ok with breastfeeding their child due to certain personal issues. Read the story to know what this mother’s problem is and what would you do in such a situation?

This pregnancy isn’t planned. I have trauma that makes it painful for me to have others see my breasts and no one can touch them including myself. I’ve been to therapy and the solution is “then don’t let anybody touch them.”
My husband has become obsessed with the idea that babies must be breastfed (I think he’s getting it from his mom) and wants to prep me by getting me comfortable with it. I’ve told him the nightmare it will be if he does it to me and how it will make me feel like he’s a danger to me. So his solution has been the idea of my MIL doing it. It’s wrong on so many levels to me but he’s freaking out telling me I’m “never going to live a normal life.”
I feel like nobody touching my breasts is more normal than my MIL doing it. I could be biased on this because I’m clouded by trauma which is why I’m asking here. I know I can act crazy sometimes because of it but this seems totally unreasonable to me. Edit: just to clarify, it would involve touching my breasts fully clothed.
