Dads make a difference: an exploratory study of paternal support for breastfeeding in Perth, Western Australia.

The ability to breastfeed and continue the practice requires dedication, commitment, persistence and support. Mothers often need to overcome many obstacles to successfully breastfeed their babies and maintain their balance of home, family and work commitments.

Evidence suggests that fathers want to be involved and be part of the parenthood process, including infant feeding. The role transition from couple to family poses challenges to both parents.

Sharing the experience of childbirth and supporting each other in the subsequent infant feeding practices is one of those challenges.
