If he is part of the decision, he can be part of the solution. If the father buys in to the importance of breast feeding, he will be much more likely to help his wife be successful in nursing their child. A loving father will want his child to receive the very best start in life. Hands down this would be breast feeding. He should make sure the mother of his child has a peaceful environment to nurse the child. That she is given the time and space to do this important act of love. As men better understand the long term value of breast feeding, they will do more to remove the obstacles that stand in the way of a culture that embraces a mother doing the very best for her children.

what reasons doctors will not let a mother breastfeed?

Although breast milk is normally better for babies than cows' milk, there are some reasons why a baby should not have its mother's milk. A mother who is using drugs, whether prescribed or not, is often advised not to breastfeed to avoid the baby ingesting the drugs. Some infections may also be a reason to avoid breastfeeding for similar reasons. There are also some instances where the mother is unable to produce milk, or enough milk to be able to breastfeed comfortably. Severe malnutrition might contribute to such a decision if alternative food is available for the baby.
