Father too has a role in Breastfeeding...

Fathers’ role in breastfeeding
Needless to say, the wife needs
support from the family members
to be able to breastfeed
successfully. This support should be
true and committed. One of the best
persons to provide support is the
husband.
This is how all fathers can help:
Fathers can pitch in with childcare,
so that the wife can rest.
They can also help the wife by
giving extra time and attention to
the elder child.
They can make their partners feel
good about themselves by praising
her job as a mother.
Giving Support and Encouragement.
Breastfeeding can be emotionally
demanding, physically exhausting,
and uncomfortable at times.
Virtually, all new mothers experience
doubts about their ability to care
for a helpless newborn.
Breastfeeding mothers harbour
additional fears about the adequacy
of their milk supply or the
correctness of their breastfeeding
technique, or their ability to
overcome lactation problems.
Fathers can play a key role in
bolstering their breastfeeding
partner's confidence by showering
them with compliments, praising
their efforts, and offering words
of encouragement.
Fathers should not doubt their
wife's ability to provide enough milk
for the baby.
They should not feel embarrassed if
she is feeding the baby outside
home.
In case the father smokes, he should
not smoke in the baby’s presence.
