Breastfeeding can feel overwhelming at first. You play a critical role in helping your partner feel supported.
- Be a Cheerleader: Celebrate small wins. If your partner feels frustrated, reassure them “You’re doing so well. Let’s keep trying together.”
- Provide Practical Help: Bring water, snacks, a pillow. Keep the room calm and comfortable. If nursing takes time, just sit nearby and offer company.
- Breastfeeding is teamwork, and Borneo’s lactation consultants are available to both parents. We’ll guide you through challenges, from latch issues to supply concerns.
