It's not uncommon for partners to seem nervous about breastfeeding. Sometimes they feel excluded or even a little bit jealous (or afraid that they will feel that way once your little bundle arrives). Or they might worry that they can’t do as much for the baby as mom can (no one likes to feel powerless!).
There are many ways to bring your partner into the joys of breastfeeding. Your partner should attend a breastfeeding class with you during your pregnancy so they'll get to hear firsthand about the many benefits of nursing — plus all the ways they can support you as you breastfeed.

Partners can also:

Bring the baby to you when it's time to nurse.

Help you position baby for a good latch.

Bring you a glass of water, a box of tissues, cold compresses, fresh nursing pads, lanolin cream or anything else you need when you’re in the middle of a feeding.

It's no secret that breastfeeding a newborn can be hard work, even if it looks relaxing. A little help from the non-nursing parent will go a long way towards giving mom the much-needed support she needs right now. Tips to consider include:

Changing the baby’s diapers.

Put the baby to sleep after she’s done feeding.

Prepare meals and snacks for Mom — you need to eat well to make milk for your baby!

Bathing the baby.

Wearing the baby in a sling or carrier (and taking her for a stroll around the neighborhood, if weather allows).

Occasionally feeding the baby a bottle.

Offer encouraging words while she breastfeeds.

Support her decision to breastfeed if family is discouraging or unfamiliar with the process.

Do skin-to-skin with the baby when she is done nursing so that she can take care of herself.

Being a new mom is not an easy job.Having a new little cute baby in your arms on one side and on the other hand is a difficult task handling baby,so u need to have support of your partner.I feel very lucky because from the day one being a parent he used to besides me caring for me as well our baby too.He was responsible and became more responsible after baby came to this world.He participate in every way taking baby in his arms sleeping her,burping her, playing with her when I was sleeping or taking rest.So,yes it's not then but every day till now he is being helpful to me and my baby girl.

breast feeding is best for baby. motherhood is the beautifull moment spent with babies.. it feels challenging but we should be strong to take care of our baby n make their childhood beautifull
Jaspreet kaur Mom of a 3 yr 6 m old girl 3 years ago
Breast feeding is the part of motherhood. Most of the time partner doesn’t have the knowledge or awareness about the importance of the breastfeed. They observe breastfeeding as a duty of mother itself. However, little education and knowledge can help them to understand importance and why support is required to mothers. I am first time mom and learning everyday and also support from partner and family varies time to time. Mothers needs to be strong and brave to accept the challenges beautifully and enjoy motherhood , Because nothing else matters. Good luck to all mothers.
