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
