This is a list of things that have been found to always be helpful in terms of support from partners:

Table 1. Partner breastfeeding influence scale subscales

Responsiveness Cronbach’s alphas: men = 0.77, women = 0.76

Make it easy for your partner to breastfeed while entertaining company or visiting others.

Respond sensitively and positively to sexual issues.

Be patient and understanding of the time it takes to breastfeed and don’t get upset if the other housework is not done.

Show your comfort with breastfeeding in public and help her feel comfortable too.

Pay attention to how much and how your partner wants you to participate in breastfeeding.
