This is a list of things that have been found to always be helpful in terms of support from partners:

Table 1. Partner breastfeeding influence scale subscales

Responsiveness Cronbach’s alphas: men = 0.77, women = 0.76

Make it easy for your partner to breastfeed while entertaining company or visiting others.

Respond sensitively and positively to sexual issues.

Be patient and understanding of the time it takes to breastfeed and don’t get upset if the other housework is not done.

Show your comfort with breastfeeding in public and help her feel comfortable too.

Pay attention to how much and how your partner wants you to participate in breastfeeding.

Frances, Karen and Megan delve into why people express milk, how it might work in different situations, and some of the logistical queries that new parents often have. Drawing on their years of experience supporting new parents, this friendly chat aims to demystify the question of expressing, and help parents to make decisions about feeding their baby.

This podcast is for anyone with an interest in feeding babies, whether they’re exclusively breastfeeding, chestfeeding, mixed feeding, expressing, still waiting for their baby to arrive, or thinking about stopping.

In this episode, we're looking at the importance of good attachment, and how positioning the baby well can help with that. We're ADAMANT that what the latch looks like isn't a good indicator of how effective it is, especially when the mother/parent finds it painful. If you're in this position, or in any way worried or unhappy about your breastfeeding experience, please do call our Feeding Line on 0300 3300 700 option 1.
