Whether you’re a dad, partner, or another type of support person, this is for you. What can partners do during pregnancy? Get informed. Learn all about breastfeeding, learn about normal feeding and expectations in the early hours and days. Learn what you CAN do BESIDES feed the baby. Know you can be really supportive, helpful, have lots of great bonding time, without feeding. Help the birthing person find resources in your area so that you know where to go for help when you need it (for example find out how your hospital or midwife supports breastfeeding in the early days, interview IBLCs, look for breastfeeding meet ups or clinics). Set up additional support for when the baby arrives, whether a postpartum doula or family/friends, who can come and help so that the birthing person can focus mostly on feeding the baby. Be confident in your role!
