A new dad might think that his role in breastfeeding is a minor one. So...NOT!
Studies show that the attitude of the baby's father is the most important factor in whether or not a mother begins and continues to breastfeed. Betul tak ladies? If our anchor tak support us to BF our kids, kejap aje la kita BF anak kita tu. We might not even reach the 6months BF milestone pun kan?
"Dad's instinct is to protect his new family. One way you can do that is by supporting your partner's decision to breastfeed. You can read books about breastfeeding or attend classes on breastfeeding with your partner. You can also help by discouraging others from criticizing your partner's decision to breastfeed, especially in the early weeks.
Dads teach their babies that there is more to love than food, and that there is a world outside of Mommy. Forging your own relationship with your baby will enrich both your lives — and Mom's, too.
Find your own way to have fun with the baby. Take charge of baths, or walk baby around in a soft carrier, or be the one to introduce squeaky toys and rattles. And remember, new babies love to nap on Dad's warm chest."

I agree, you will most likely have a much lower success rate if you do not have support from your husband. The men can try and make the experience a little less stress free for mom by doing little things around the house or by just keeping her company through the times that might seem forever while breastfeeding in the beginning, these things make all the difference.
