Daddies and Breastfeeding!
I don't think people touch on how much the dad is part of the breastfeeding relationship. For me without my husband supporting me I don't think I could have done it. Yes when I wanted to stop he said he was going to support me and he did. But Zachary didn't take the bottle so he supported me breastfeeding. To this day, sitting with me in the car, getting me the boppy, glasses of water and making dinner while I feed our son is so much support! In the hospital he helped me get Zachary to latch properly because I was tired and weak. He got me pillows and was awake while I slept just in case Zachary woke up and I didn't. I wouldn't have my breastfeeding relationship with my son any different! I know it stresses out my husband that I am the only one that can feed the baby, but in the end you know "Breast Is Best" it's not made up, it's not just something some hippie said. It's Fact. Woman have boobs to feed babies.
My husband plays with our son, co-showers with our son. and cuddles him to sleep when I need time for myself. Our son loves his daddy, and some days only wants mom to eat and than he wants nothing to do with me because daddy is so much fun to play with.
So...
