Exclusive Breastfeeding

Does anyone get crap from friends/family/husband about exclusively breastfeeding?

I have friends that get mad that I can’t be away for more than an hour or two, my husband doesn’t understand why the baby prefers me and my in laws are pissed we won’t get him on a bottle so they can watch him.

It’s extremely frustrating and I have no idea how to handle it. The awful thing is we’ve tried a bottle—he hates it and chokes on the milk he gets so upset. He has a great latch and is thriving; he’s 7 weeks and gained 4 lbs from his birthweight.
