Partner’s Support

One of the biggest reasons I am able to continue breastfeeding is my husband’s support. From the very beginning, he never pressure me to exclusively breastfeed. He even allowed me to feed the baby with formula only if I want. He always reminded me that a healthy and happy mom was more important than how the baby was fed.

Also, My husband couldn’t pump for me, but he found some ways to help. He brings me water and snacks, and hold the baby while I pump. Those small acts made me feel like we are doing this together.

Finally when I want to pump, my Momcozy M5 also gives me more flexibility and made it easier to fit pumping into our daily routine. Momcozy M5 allows me to work but still pump, and it allows me to go outside for food, shopping on weekends!

To every new mom: you don’t have to do everything perfectly. A supportive partner and a little grace for yourself can make all the difference. :growing_heart:

Having our partners on our side is really amazing! Mine has 3 kids from his previous marriage, his insights and experiences helped me so much on those first few weeks where we feel so overwhelmed with all the new things happening at once. That is such a precious picture too :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Wow. I’m so happy for you that your partner helps a lot! We are first time mom and dad, we had difficult time when the baby was born. It was kind of messy but we helped each other and made it!

Yes. Even my mom told me breast milk is better than formula and I need to breastfeeding, but my husband cares me more :squinting_face_with_tongue: His support actually largely encourages me
