Breastfeeding mothers were asked to share the best ways that their partners could lend a helping hand, in a survey last week. Most men enjoy helping and looking after their baby as much as women do. However, the closeness that breastfeeding mums enjoy excludes them from the feeding and nurturing their offspring and can leave some men feeling left out or redundant.
