Mums, meet Emily Webber. Like many other mothers int he modern age, Emily recently shared a picture of herself breastfeeding her daughter on Facebook. What’s particularly interesting about this mum’s breastfeeding post is that her husband was assisting her while she nourished her baby.
You’re probably thinking to yourself, “How the heck could her husband be helping her breastfeed?”
Well, as the old saying goes: “less is more”.
After being shared by the popular parenting Facebook page, Breastfeeding Mama Talk, the photo went viral! It’s already racked up over twenty thousand likes, and more than three thousand shares.
“Example #235670 – on how a dad can “help” with the feedings of a breastfed baby…True love is blow drying her hair while she breastfeeds because you don’t have a whole lot of time so you kill 2 birds with 1 stone!” Emily wrote in the caption of the touching photo.
After receiving over a thousand comments on the post, Emily decided to reply on the comment section. There she wrote, “And the best part is I didn’t even ask — he offered! Can’t get any better then that!” Looks like this husband just raised the bar for other dads out there!
The photo aims to motivate husbands to get more involved and more engaged when it comes to breastfeeding. There are tons of ways a new dad can assist the mother of his child when she’s feeding their baby, and this dad wasn’t afraid to experiment with new techniques.
I guess sometimes less truly is more, but in the long run, it’s the little things that matter most!
