I have twins. my partner helped me in tandem feeding a lot, holding baby while fedding, adjusting position. we were not able to get twinZ pillow in india so he used to adjust multiple pillows for me.

during cluster fedding phase, tracking feeds helps in understanding why babies are crying.

My husband has been very supportive of my decision to exclusively breastfeed both my babies till 6 months. Whenever I have to feed my baby, he is ready with the feeding pillow, gives the baby to my lap and makes sure that I never have to exert myself. Me being a c-sec mom, he is always extra careful that I keep my back straight while feeding. During night time feeds also, he is the one who wakes up first and gives me the baby to feed. He always makes sure that I have nutritious food throughout the day, and take supplements regularly. He gave me the confidence to feed the baby in car, airplane, shopping malls and even in a National Park! Once when I had to go for an exam, my husband fed my pumped milk to the baby and it was a very different experience for them both. With his support I plan to breastfeed my baby for a long time to come. I am grateful to my husband for being my pillar of support and being with me always throughout this breastfeeding journey.

There may be lot of jobs in our home, actually I can do that jobs by taking a small time. But after pregnancy, I want to feed milk that makes me lag in my duties. At that time my husband also helps me in my duties. When I was giving milk to baby for long time I feel little bit angry. At that time he will also stand with us, he will share the matters that I like.So I will overcome from that situation. He makes the breast feeding time more relaxable

My husband is always supported before pregnancy and after delivery. He take care of our child very good while I am sleeping.

My husband was the greatest support during my breastfeeding journey.
Initially when you start breastfeeding milk is very less and only gradually the flow increases.
So my in laws would ask me to bottle feed and give baby formula. Which I did not want to.
So here my hubby supported my decision to completely breast feed.
Initial days of breastfeeding are pretty tough.
As the breast would hurt plus the sleepless nights.
My husband would help with burping the baby and his encouragement and support made breastfeeding easier.
