What was the role of your partner in your breastfeeding journey?

I had c section after water break in my initial 9th month so was not able to get up and feed my 2nd baby . my husband was always there to support me. due to covid in year 2020 no one from our parents could reach us and our 7 year daughter was at home. Amidst all these tension I wasn\'t able to feed my baby and milk kept coming out of my breast. my gown would stick to bed and my body because of that and I had to change it after few naps of mine due to anesthesia effect. baby too was not able to suck properly and as a result my breast was getting engorged. now it was getting even more difficult to feed the baby. doctors suggested warm compress with hand towels first then diapers but they wee not providing relief and then with hot water bottle and bag too. but with these icould only squeeze out little milk for baby with hands. we were so much in pain that even after having sufficient supply we are not able to feed our baby properly. my husband kept changing nappies and soothing the baby even in night apart from taking care of me and all hospital works as there was no one to help. then I got one parcel of clothes and other items from my mothers house which is 1400 km from here. I received a phillips avent breast pump and my problems got solved. I was so relaxed while I used the manual pump. I started feeding my baby with my expressed milk and my engorged breasts were not anymore painful now. I feeded my baby on both expressed and latched milk till 6 months all because of my partners help and moral support. a women feels so down when she is not able to feed her child and really needs mental n emotional support which I got in my both deliveries. it a bliss to give birth and feed your child and even more satisfying to see your child grow healthy and happily. I thank God for giving me this happiness and loving caring husband.
