Abstract | Background: Partner’s support for breastfeeding positively impacts upon breastfeeding practices but women report that partner support for breastfeeding beyond one year is limited. Methods: 23 men and 3 women responded to an open-ended online questionnaire designed to explore their experiences of supporting their partner in making the decision to breastfeed, initiating breastfeeding, and breastfeeding beyond one year. Conclusion: Education and a mix of professional and peer support is needed for partners to help them navigate the different challenges faced during the breastfeeding journey. |
