The support of my husband has completely assisted me in the success of meeting my six month goal of BF our son. He attended every visit to the lactation consultant and listened to every word. Our son is six months old and is exclusively breastfed. Baby slept directly next to us in a moses basket and my husband handed baby to me multiple times in the middle of the night with encouragement. Our goal is now that we never have to use formula. Thank you for highlighting the importance of Dad in the success of breastfeeding!

That way, the baby stays warm and the mother stays modest.”

I’m all for skin to skin and keeping baby warm, but object to Mum needing to be “modest”. In the early weeks, I breastfed without a top on at home and would have objected to someone telling me to cover up.
