Allattamento

Why Should Fathers Encourage Breastfeeding?

* Research shows that breastfed babies have fewer colds and ear infections.
* The nutrients in breastmilk help build the baby's brain and immune system.
* Breastmilk is always the right temperature and ready to serve.
* Breastfeeding builds a close bond between mother, father and baby.

How Can Fathers Be a Part of the Breastfeeding Team?

Here are some suggestions from the Fathers Supporting Breastfeeding project:

* Help around the house. If there are other children, take care of them so mom can get some rest.
* Take your baby to mom for breastfeeding. If mom needs something while she's breastfeeding, offer to get it for her.
* Do things that will make mom feel good about herself:
* Praise her for breastfeeding
* Do something special for her
* Be proud!
* Make time for just you and your baby. Babies need cuddles and hugs from their dads, too.
* When mom is breastfeeding, help her feel comfortable and relaxed.
* Your support can make mom feel more comfortable about breastfeeding, even in public.
* When the baby gets hungry and needs eat in public, mom can breastfeed without people noticing her.
* Mom can use a blanket or a shawl to up while breastfeeding. People will think simply cuddling the baby.
