'You've got to do what is best for you and what is best for your child's health,' singer-actor Jana Kramer's husband Mike Caussin said.

American actor-singer Jana Kramer revealed that she tried breastfeeding her four-week-old son Jace but it did not work for any of them.

The One Tree Hill star is contentiously being asked that if she is breastfeeding her son or not?

Being a supportive husband, American footballer Mike Caussin said, "You've got to do what is best for you and what is best for your child's health. And what's best for Jace is to be formula fed," US Weekly reported.

Alluding to the trolls that criticised the star last time when she gave birth to her first child, Kramer said, "I tried so hard the second time around because I didn't want to get re-shamed."

She further added, "I had two of my girlfriends over at my house, right after Jace, trying to get milk out of my b**b, and I'm just like, bawling my eyes out and Michael's like, 'Why are you doing this?' And I said, 'Because everybody's telling me what I need to do."

She went on to add, "My girlfriends were pressing on my b**b trying to get milk out," she told Us. "So I was like, 'OK. I'm stopping. I'm done."

'I wanted to post this photo (showing my stomach) because I wanted to show my journey back to healthy,' the actor wrote against this picture.
'A few things, no I didn't get a tummy tuck, no I don't have a personal chef, no I don't have fortunes so I didn't train everyday. Yes I had a c section, yes I am still in pain and on meds but I do have a high pain tolerance. I have had 3 stomach surgeries before this (appendix, gallbladder, and c section).'
'Can we be kinder to ourselves and know that every women has a different journey but yet we are all beautiful? Can we lift women up but not tear yourself down in the process with comparing? Let's give that a try.....I love y'all.'

Her husband, the retired NFL player, Mike Caussin added now that Jace is drinking formula, everyone is happier.

The couple tied the knot in 2015.

Prior to Caussin, the singer has been linked with American actor Scott Eastwood, Brantley Gilbert and Johnathon Schaech.
