Yes definitely partner role is very important for role in breastfeeding. Partner can play a key role in partner's confidence by showring them with compliments pressing their efforts and offering word of encouragement.This support can be particularly when a women profoundly tired and discouraged.My partner also give a big support .he always giving me water and it's very important .He is very careful about my diet .He always encourage me .

His role was very crucial .As I had doubt on myself whether my supply is enough for the baby so I started with formula milk when my baby was 3months old,Later on i started pumping also.Later on he used to encourage me to feed directly so later on i slowly stopped giving formula milk and feeding directly .Right now my baby is 6 months baby.thats why i consider my husband a guide, A true friend of mine not only in this journey but even during my pregnancy.thank u

My husband has been actively supporting me by doing whatever he can to help me and the baby since the day our Lil bub was born, even though he had joined a new company just two days before. working during the day and supporting through the night, I am lucky he genuinely believes that parenting is a two person job and it was never only me. If he could takecare of the baby he did, diaper changes, feeding the baby expressed milk while I slept or getting me water and snacks to keep me going, he did it all. 😊

initially struggled a lot to establish latch being a first time mom. husband was my support, taking care of both of us. baby used to be awake at ood hours at night and he used to take care of her. bought nipple cream and feeding pillow for me . brought snacks and kept juice and fruots ready for midnight hunger pangs. we have a long way from that time.

also made sure that i ate well and had nutritious food.

My husband stayed awake at night while I breastfed my baby during the first few months and kept pillows for support.

I am so so happy and very excitement on that moment when I confirm my pregnancy then I enjoy every single minute. I ate a lot of healthy foods and avoid junk foods on my pregnancy. I share my thoughts with my fetal during that time and I teach good principles on the day 1 itself. finally the month after birth it should be very excitement, feeling blessed, very responsible moment. I enjoy parenting a lot.
