From a father’s perspective, breastfeeding is already a little hard to fathom! There’s no bump any more, instead there’s a little person that we’re responsible for and utterly depends on us as parents. Oh, and on top of that, all of a sudden my partner’s body can produce milk!
Then compounded to that, every other parent seems to be mixing a bottle of formula and bragging of the 4 hours solid sleep they had last night.
Because breastfeeding is no longer the norm, it may be difficult for you and others to understand. You may receive comments that are probably meant well, but make you question why you’re not bottle feeding.
This is when it’s important to remind yourself why you’ve decided to take on this breastfeeding mission along with mumma. You’ve done the research, you know what’s best for your baby and partner. This is the hard part. Things will get easier and you’ll be so proud of you’re partner and yourself when you’ve achieved your breastfeeding goal.
When it seems like no one understands, understand that you’re doing this for your baby. You’re supporting your partner through one of life’s great challenges. Be strong and drown out any outside noise. This is your perfect bubble, don’t let anyone burst it!
