Dh is very supportive. He loves it when we are out in public and I nurse DS in a sling. He gets a real kick out of that - he actually giggles every time. Plus in the beginning, he waited on me hand and foot while I nursed 'cuz we both wanted it to succeed.

He is really supportive, but he does ask me now and again about when I might want to wean her. I have told him 2, but honestly think she might just self-wean.

My DH is very supportive of bf'ing. He told me that if I hadn't wanted to bf, he would have tried to talk me into it. He questioned extended bf'ing and CLW, but once I showed him the benefits, ect, he was fine with it. For the first few weeks after DS was born, he was a little weirded out when I nursed in front of other people, but he got over it pretty quickly.

Yes, very supportive. He wouldn't have it any other way (I wouldn't either of course)

He's very supportive. Very. But I think it's more because it is so important to me and not so much b/c he realizes it's better for DDs. Oh well, whatever the reason, he is supportive and that's all that matters.

Very, very supportive. I really appreciate how fortunate I am to have such a supportive partner. Particularly those first few weeks of beginning to breastfeed with DD#1, he was my rock of support. He is as proud and committed to the breastfeeding relationship that I have with our daughters as I am!

Very supportive. When I had Amber, 11 yrs ago on monday, YIKES! Anyway, when I had Amber he would help latch her on. Went to all the LC appts I had to learn how to help! Very good Daddy.
