How husbands can support breastfeeding?
give moral support and word of encouragement during bad days.. (Kit, A supportive husband)

By helping to do some housework (esp for those who don’t have maid or relatives) to ease the wife’s burden & thus enabling the wife’s to concentrate on bf. (Sheela SAHM)
My DH has a joke. He says he helped me to breastfeed by keeping his mouth shut! (N)
Hubby always ask what I have for lunch at office… make sure that I’m eating healthily. If I eat with him, say like fish, he will gimme the meaty part… if soup, he will make sure I have extra more. Because hubby is quite thin also, sometimes, I will insist that he eat more…so sometimes, we are like playing tai-chi at dining table. (Mama to Jiann Yang (07/07/2002) and Jia Ee (15/04/2004))
Get the brand of pump the wife requested and not go to the shop and find the cheapest and then, ask the promoter - can try ah? After that, check the breast pump like he is buying a vaccum cleaner (Lilian)

When men say something good about breastfeeding, it makes a strong impact, esp on all the “well-meaning” elders, friends and strangers etc.. Husband’s endorsement of the breastfeeding movement in the family helps to keep excessive negativities that come mummy’s way, esp for first time mothers. (Audrey)

William does not openly say he supports breastfeeding, but he helps to sterilise the breast pumps and bottle (in a steam steriliser, as easy as ABC each night before he goes to bed, so action speaks a thousand words!!! (GH)

helping me to field criticism/negative comments about bfg. He did great at telling our respective moms to stand back and let us deal with our child the way we wanted to. I really needed that support ‘cos I was getting so much rubbish from both moms. It was too much emotion for me to handle at the time. (a proud tandem nurser)

Give the moral support and assurance that the wife is doing great; she is such a wonderful wife and mother; say words like I’m so proud of you; etc will help. (Vivian)
