Becoming a father is a massive life change that can bring with it many new questions and how and what to feed your new baby is one of the most important decisions you will make. When it comes to breastfeeding, dads may be in the dark about the physical and emotional benefits it offers, as well as the practicalities of how it works, and may be left wondering where they fit in.
It’s fair to say that breastfeeding can seem a bit of a one woman show at times. We have yet to evolve to the point where breastfeeding can be shared by fathers and just as this can often be overwhelming for mothers, it can lead to dads feeling left out or second best. This is especially true in the early weeks when your baby seems to do little BUT breastfeed!
