Dads & Breastfeeding: How Partners Can Be Supportive

Breastfeeding may be a mom-led activity, but partners play a HUGE role in its success.

Support from dads (or partners) can be emotional, practical, and powerful:

  • Offer encouragement and praise

  • Take over burping, diaper changes, or post-feed cuddles

  • Help with household chores to give mom time to rest

  • Attend lactation consults to understand challenges better

Research shows that when partners are supportive, mothers are more likely to start and continue breastfeeding.

At Mamawise, we believe breastfeeding is a family effort. Dads, you matter more than you know!
