Title: Family support

Narrator: Tip number 7, involve the family. To breastfeed successfully, besides learning the practical skills, it is also important to gain support from your family. So how can your family support you? They can help you with housework and play with the baby so as to let you rest up, pamper you, and encourage you by telling you “Great Job! We'll always have your back”, all these will work for you. Before breastfeeding, your partner or other family members can give you a back massage. This helps you to relax to have a better milk flow. If you encounter any difficulties in baby care, seek help from healthcare professionals with your partner. The fathers play an important role in breastfeeding.
