I am a new dad, and I want to know ways that I can support my nursing wife. Any advice for me?

welcome to new dad's league here what I did 1. Contribute 50% to wife for changing Baby diaper. 2. Come home early after office will make your wife feel relax 3 Do sit with your baby and sing some melody song or read something. 4. Make sure ur baby bed is always clean... I mean very clean. 5. Do keep her asking wifee... do u need anything how can I help u.. 6. Don't allow anyone to touch your baby cheek even u. 7. Keep phones, camera, wifi router very away from baby at least 10 feet.. 8. Always be with your wife when it's vaccine time in coming months. Enjoy the fatherhood. ;)

To add on, to what you can do to support your nursing wife, 1.Prepare a hot drink before she feed the baby. This is to help her relax and will help her for better milk flow 2. Offer to burp the baby after your wife finished feeding the baby. 3.Help to change the baby if needed after feeding. (Babies usually poo after or during feeding, I don't know why) 4.Swaddle the baby after feeding and changing 5.Offer to massage your wife, it can be tiring at the neck and the back. 6. Encourage with love. With your support, I'm sure the breastfeeding journey can last long.

Firstly congrats on your new bundle of joy. Like all mums, we hope to have a supportive husband in our journey in breastfeeding. It is tough for us and the last thing we want to hear fr hub, is ' baby is constantly hungry, you might not have enough bm, change to fm' I am fortunate my hub is not like that and have been encouraging me all the way. Help your wife with sterilizing the equipment, help with the baby, enjoy the fussing baby moments n laugh with her.

You can be her pillar when people around asking her about bf. Sometimes relatives can be blunt and talk about fm better, baby not eat enough with bm etc etc. Stand up for your wife (coz we usually ignore them because too tired nursing the baby). Having a knight in armour to defend her surely will make your wife more than happy to continue breastfeeding.

My lo is 12 weeks old. He has started to eat/sucks his hands n fingers about 3 weeks ago. Also, saliva drools frm his mouth. Whenever i cradle him, he will start to suck my left forearm. I am a ebm mum. Is my lo teething? But its too early. I tried to stop him frm eat/suck his hands. Should i let him be n this is passing phase?

Think you can also read up on how to deal with blocked ducts, engorgement, mastitis etc. Also, be patient with her, help out with other household chores such that she won't need to worry about those would be good too. Your wife is lucky to have such a supportive husband. :)

You can do simple things like getting her a drink before and after feedings. Offer to help her wash her if she needs to pump. Try not to pressurise her by asking "Is baby still hungry?", "Is baby not having enough?" and most importantly is to give her all the support she needs!

1. Cheer her on, make sure she knows you are supporting her and This breastfeeding journey 2. Ensure she is drinking enough water. Give her a glass of water after every feed. 3. Don't pressure her for sex. She will probably be dehydrated and less in the mood

You know... you just gotta be genuinely sensitive to her needs, and not pressure her into anything she already doesn't like doing. My mantra is always "take of the mummy, cos everyone would wanna take of the baby first".
