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!
