If she's seeking advice from females then she should get from females. Her husband should understand that.

@AngelUnforgiven I'll respond to both comments.
So in this scenario I had just given birth and was experiencing immediate pain and needed advice straightaway as my milk was coming in.
My aunt is a midwife and my mum was here to help the first 2 weeks.
My mum consulted my aunt X midwife what to do and how to manage the pain.
My partner was in the living room, as this was coming through over text due to us needing our hands free when I had the opportunity I shared the texts with my partner.
But he couldn't advise me on this subject especially as his mum didn't breast feed any of her children.
The only thing he could contribute was the fact that the midwife she spoke to made her feel like crap for not producing enough milk.
As a consequence of this scenario he became irrate because I was sharing information and he wasn't in the room whilst this was all occured, he claimed the messages had no context and he didn't understand why my aunt was advising certain things.
He later didn't help with my desire to breastfeed and would make bottled formula instead of waking me up to nurse the baby so my supply reduced significantly.
