Before the baby is born, you may find that many expectant fathers state categorically that breast is best, and that they are fully in favour of their partner breastfeeding for as long as possible. Breastfeeding requires no preparation, no heating, no bottles or dishes you have to wash. Breast milk never runs out and you never have to deal with leftovers. Breastfeeding is good for your partner, giving her a chance to bond with the baby. Breastfeeding is good for your baby.
Breast milk contains the perfect blend of nutrients.
Breastfed babies have a much lower tendency than formula-fed babies do to develop food allergies and respiratory and gastrointestinal illnesses, and they are less likely to become obese as adults. Breast milk also transmits the mother's immunity to certain diseases. Breastfed babies' nappies don't smell as bad. Breastfed babies produce movements that smell almost sweet, especially when compared to the poo produced by formula-fed babies. After the baby comes, though, a lot of new fathers have a change of heart about the benefits of breastfeeding.
