breastfeeding is very amazing and toughest task for every mother, bcoz after birth of my baby , i felt so much difficulty actually milk was not coming out properly bcoz of hardness of breast so my mother- in- law helped me so much ,so i am great thankful of my mother-in-law, she massaged my breast with lukewarm water ,its become very helpful. its very useful trick for every mother, and husband gave me proper time to feed baby.😍

Breastfeeding!! it's an amazing experience n I can so easily recall how difficult it was for me in the initial days..im not sure I could have done half as well without the support of him.he is my life savior! He,being paediatrician knows all the benefits of breastfeeding n taught me the importance of it..it was c-sec for me and I was damn sick of my backache and not even a day I was without worrying since I couldn't feed my baby during pain..he was the one who literally held baby in hand for feed and make sure I get back support during each n every feed..he balanced both his profession life as well me and baby those days!after every feed he makes sure I take rest and he takes care of baby for burping as well sleep..now my baby is 9mo old and even now he is doing the same all baby care duties .he is lovable husband as wel responsible dad😍I can't imagine how difficult it would be without someone like my partner.. he made breastfeeding more than doable and easier..And finally this post is not for the prize winning or contest ,i just wanna thank my husband how a man should be for his women in her life ..he is my superhero:)😊

I am thankful to my husband and my parents and siblings for their support through the breastfeeding journey. They have helpful in holding her after feeding and walking me up if I'm in deep sleep to feed ( especially my husband). He sometimes helped around the house when I was cluster feeding.

My partner has been my pillar throughout the journey. I still remember the initial days where cluster feeding was happening, and I had to wake up every two hours throughout the day and night. He was the who always burped the baby.He helped with heat pack on engorged breasts and also gave massage to my feet to make day relaxing. He's all things that me and my son could've asked for 😍

A baby’s father is not the only kind of partner who can support breastfeeding. A partner may also identify as a co-mother or co-parent, or may be a grandparent or other relative, a close friend, a doula, or anyone else that the nursing parents identify as their partner in breastfeeding.

After 8 years of infertility I gave birth to twins through cs but had a very severe pph and high blood preasure and by gods and doctors help i got my life back. I came back from death. But before being discharged from the hospital i got covid and they immediately discharged me and my babies (one of my baby was in nicu).all these played avery little breastmilk. I tried everything, different medicine, advices from every one, tried pumping every time . I started to feel guilty of feeding babies formula milk.Mama is not good enough for you babies these taunts were there.I was falling into depression. It was my husband who shut their mouth. I started using gokarna spoon first then babies were not getting enough speed so changed to bottles.

zero ..no help from him..I went through all this tough time all alone ..my mom helped ,actually saved my life through this tough journey..

Don't worry..all men are not same...
and some super women are strong enough to handle it all alone...
If you can take care of your child independently then you can face any challenge that comes in life!
