I think it was one a the few times Rumple made the right decision, he refused to kill an innocent person even if it meant saving his son. He promised his next child to the healer not necissarily Milah's next child. It is the same thing if a father were to have an emergancy sugery to save his son's life that would result in the father being sterile after without time to ask his wife first. Nobody would have questioned the father in that scenario. Rumple did not have time to ask Milah's opinion he had to make a choice, his son dies, he kills the healer and becomes a murderer, or he gives away his probably never going to be born next child. Any father in his situation would have done the same.
