Yes, fathers can play a crucial role in this process, as it is not only physiological, but emotional too. As a co-parent, ensure that your wife isn’t all alone in this. We tell you how to help.
AN EXPECTANT dad's roster usually brims with responsibilities well before the arrival of his child. Baby-proofing the home, organizing the hospital bag and rehearsing Lamaze routines become part of a grand finale that marks the advent of a beautiful new chapter. Despite the integral role he may have played in the nine months leading up to his baby's birth, it's natural for a new dad to feel left out in the days following Baby's arrival. Helping Mom in the process of breastfeeding may help him deal with this feeling of estrangement in a much better way, forging a stronger bond between all three. All you need to do is follow these steps.

In addition to essential skills, these programmes also highlight an array of neonatal and maternity problems that are likely to rear their ugly heads in the first week after a baby arrives.
