Dad's... Make it Easier for Baby's Mama to Breastfeed

Breastfeeding for the baby is definitely the absolute best thing that Mama can do for the baby. I wish that I had a handy trick like a big juicy boob to calm down a upset baby. Marley seems to really be benefiting from the delicious and nutritious breast milk that Ashley is pumping in her.

 

At just 11 weeks Marley is already rolling over often. Last night she rolled over 5 times, from her tummy to her back. She is also strong enough to sit in her Exersaucer. She really is perfect, and I attribute most of it to the all the love and the great start that Ashley is giving her with her milk factory.

 

Here are some Great Tips on Breastfeeding that have really helped out my wife:

 

1. Get her a Boppy - It’s U shaped pillow that makes it so much easier to have the baby in the perfect feeding position. I thought it was stupid…”Why not just use a pillow” I said. I learned. Just get her one

    

2. Good Burp Cloths- When I say good I mean nice and thick. Those milk wagons really leak a lot of milk, they’ll spray all over the place, the baby’s going to spit up all the time. Get lots of them… you know that your going to need them. And remember to get thick ones that will absorb lots.

    

3. Soothies- You MUST get a few packs of these. The are the BEST for the sore nipples that you baby’s mama is sure to have. They will keep the taps flowing like wine. The Lanisoh breast cream works o.k. but is messy and thick you don’t want the baby eating that stuff do ya? No. So buck up and get the SOOTHIES. They are the best when they’re after they’ve been in the fridge. Your lady will thank you.

    

4. Breast Pump - It really is a must. No I know that it looks really cool when your lady’s boobs get really huge and engorged… but I assure you that she is in pain. She needs to get some of that milk out, not only to relive the pressure, but it also helps the baby feed easier. With less pressure the baby will suck in less air when feeding, and less air means less gas…gas is bad. Medela is the best on the market.

    

5. Hooter Hider - It’s a apron for gosh sake. But, it really is convenient for her to whip it out anywhere. Believe me, when its time for that baby to eat, you don’t want to waste any time looking for a secluded place to feed. Get a big one, that’s thick and sturdy for better coverage. This will make it lots easier and less exposed. Besides, if anyone says anything bad about your wife feeding in public…punch em in the face.

    

6. Milk Storage Bags - the more milk save up the better. The milk will stay good in the freeze for like 6 months or something. You know that there will be plenty of times when you are going to be by yourself when the wife is at work, shopping or something and you need to feed the baby. Save all the milk you can.

 

When it come to breastfeeding, don’t skimp on the supplies. Get her all the things I talked about. After all, making sure your wife’s comfortable is the best thing that you can do help her feed the baby. A full baby is a happy baby. And if your wife is unhappy, the baby will be unhappy, and you’ll be really, really…in big trouble!
