Empathy.
As a new mum, the breastfeeding phase was brand new to me. My baby had latching issues which made it even more challenging. I stopped feeding my baby directly and fed her with the expressed milk. With dozens of advise and judgements pouring in from the society, all I needed was a person who can empathize my go-through's, and that was my partner's role in my breastfeeding journey. He lent his ears to my nerve-racking grumbles and comprehended my difficulties without comments. He later guided me to a lactation consultant who solved all breastfeeding my issues and thereafter blossomed a happy breastfeeding journey.
Every new mum deserves empathy. While it cannot be expected from the elders of the family, a partner can surely shower it.
Dear Men, embrace your wife with empathy in their breastfeeding journey and be a true partner to rely on.

After 14 hours of labour pain unable to deliver baby normally so doctors decided and did c section. It is very difficult for me to get up for initial 10 days during which my hubby used to bring the child near to me and breast feed him. Besides he used to clean me with wet cloth as I couldn't able to get up because of overweight and severe pain. I am not fully concisious for first two days so completely he used to look after the baby. Daily he used to bath, burp & play with him so that i can rest. During night he keeps alarm for every 2 hours and wake me up for baby breast feed. Inorder to look after of us he requested for work from home & luckily they approved it. I am so lucky that he is taking care of the child more than my parents.

After 12 hours of labour and a normal delivery early morning I was completely exhausted. Being Sunday, the day was full of visitors and happiness spread was all around but due to lack of rest I caught high fever. And the only time to rest was night time. My husband had set up alarm every 2 hours to wake me up to feed my daughter..I was given paracetamol and rest; all care of baby was done by my husband. I was just a feeding machine who was switched on every 2 hours 😍😀

we had a 3 months old son, after 8 years old daughter. My husband supports me everytime. He helped me in household works in pre-delivery period and post-delivery period as well, took care of my rest and comfort, took care of our daughter so that I could give more time to our son. Always took care of my diet so that our babies could get proper and nutritious milk.
last but not the least, for a woman it is the best thing that her husband is very helpfull and careful. It really makes a woman feel special and energetic. It works like a booster for her.

so sorry. actually I posted the previous comment without checking that I have my husband's phone in my hands.

Well parenting is an equal journey both for mom
and dad! Just because mothers can breastfeed
doesn't make the role of dad less important ! My
partner shared equal responsibilities with me
be it breast feeding or diaper changing!
Sterilising bottles, pump , taking burp after
every feed, and more than that providing me
with belief that i can handle this journey are
just few things that I can write about my partner
My partner is my best half just without the
female anatomy

such a cute photo of daddy and baby😊
