How can I help my partner during breastfeeding?

Postnatal, Your questions

My partner is 34 weeks pregnant, and we want to breastfeed our baby. As a father, I want to be able to give them the best support possible to make the experience a positive one. Marie, how can I help during the process? 

Thanks, Pierre

That’s so cute! You seem like an engaged father who wants to make sure that breastfeeding is a success. That’s really beautiful. Yes, there are many things a father can do to contribute to breastfeeding success! For more information, I wrote an article Fathers and Breastfeeding, in which you will find all sorts of interesting things you can do. 

Tu trouveras donc plein d’infos à ce sujet en te rendant sur Père et allaitement.

 

Talk soon,
