My partner support was crucial in making my breastfeeding experience easier and more seamless.
he always reminded me of the incredible benefits that breast milk provides, which is why my journey of breast feeding is always precious 🥰

A father can help in so many ways that it's hard to imagine why many men feel left out when their wives breastfeed. A father can go to the baby when he or she awakens and bring the hungry infant to his wife. While the mother is nursing, he can pour her a nutritious beverage, massage her shoulders, compliment her, and lovingly admire his nursing baby. After the first breast, he can burp the baby and help arouse the infant for the second side. When the feeding is complete, the father can change the infant and put him or her down to sleep.

Due to his job requirements, my husband can only visit baby and me only once a week. All the other days, after breastfeeding mostly it's me who carries my baby and puts her to sleep. But if my husband is around, he will take care of the baby after the breastfeed and will strictly instruct me to lie down and. If I am sitting in a position for too long he will lightly massage my back.Also he always sit with me while I breastfeed and ensures that I eat nutritious food. He supports me a lot not only in breastfeeding but also in my beautiful motherhood journey.

I am a mother of 4 years old girl baby. I was feeding my daughter till she turn 3 years. Even though my family and friends suggested to stop feeding after she turn 1 year myself and my husband never listened to them. Most of the time I faced mood swings during those three years probably because of sleepless days and nights. I showed all my anger to my husband as he was the only person who understand me. I was 60kgs before I got pregnant and gained weight up to 77kgs while feeding my baby. He never body shamed me and never let anyone to tease me. Instead he appreciated my effort and encouraged me whenever and wherever possible. Actually people say child will get addicted to breast feeding and very difficult to stop feeding after some age. But, practically I got addicted to feed her and I couldn’t stopped feeding. Even he wanted me to continue as much as possible but unfortunately I was supposed to get quarantined as doctors suspected COVID infection when I got fever and so I forced to stop feeding. My husband enjoy all those naught things my daughter do when I was feeding and he miss that even now. Even few months back he asked if there is any way I can start feeding again. We both got addicted feeding her and we miss all her naughtiness. Without husband support it is not easy to feed a child till 3 years. I feel pleasure to share this here. I request all new mothers to feed your child as much as years possible and enjoy all cute moments. We cannot get this time back and the nutrition what we give to child will support them forever. Thanks for this opportunity. 😊
