Firstly saying “it’s ok” when you’re not able to make the baby latch is the biggest support I think a partner can do. Because this gives you inner peace.
I used pumping majoring in the starting month as my daughter was unable to latch properly. So my husband was helping us with the timely feed to our baby. I use to pump and he use to make her drink. So this was a great help. Also before my delivery he bought a feeding pillow so that my feeding journey could be smooth.

Breastfeeding is a very emotional journey. Moms get too emotional as well exhausted at the same time. Hence father's responsibility to comfort the mother and give her the right emotional support is a very crucial part of the journey. When we realise that raising a child is an equal shared responsibility and the partners have each other's back, the journey becomes more fun and enjoyable. I'm a father of a 3 month old boy, and I love to be with my wife as she nurses the baby, and help burp the baby also put him to sleep. Enjoying each and every moment.

I can't describe my hubby's help and care during my motherhood journey.Some times he took my mom's role and look after my food habits. Very patiently co- operate with me while mood swings. And he is my back born during sleepless night
