What can partners do to help breastfeeding?

There are many ways to offer support to a breastfeeding mother

Thank her for being a wonderful mother
Talk to her about what you can do to help
Provide and ensure privacy (if wanted) for breastfeeding
Encourage fluids and good nutrition for the mother
Provide protection for the mother: assess possible restriction of visitors, encourage phone off the hook for rest perisods, assess the extra workload of house guests
Minimise business and other stress activities
Understand that having a new baby can be very tiring for both of you so share and assist with household chores such as preparing meals.
Provide a comfortable chair and footstool
Try to have time alone with your partner, your baby and yourself.
Get involved in the daily need of your baby, for example by changing nappies, giving baths, going for walks, playing with and cuddling your baby.
