When family and friends support breastfeeding, it makes the challenges easier.
Your encouragement will touch a lifetime.

• Tell mom that she is doing great
• Let dad know that his patience is beautiful
• Let the new family know how proud you are of them
• Praise grandparents/aunts/uncles/cousins/friends for their wonderful care and wisdom

Give the new family a boost:

• Tackle some household chores
• Bring a meal over
• Change some diapers
• Make the trip to the grocery store
• Give the baby a bath
• Take the new siblings to the park
• Read a book or watch TV with the new siblings
• Keep mom resting, bring the baby to her
