A Partner’s story

Sam’s partner had difficulty breastfeeding their baby in the first six weeks: “It was hard to see my wife so upset. I didn’t necessarily mind how our baby was fed, but I knew she really wanted to breastfeed and I wanted to support her. It was a bit of a tightrope, because I didn’t want to discourage her from breastfeeding but I didn’t want her to feel like she had to.”
