Papa’s role in supporting Mama’s breastfeeding is really needed. Besides helping to prepare various needs for Mama, looking after mood Mama staying positive is also necessary. The goal is that you don’t get stressed and make breast milk production decrease.
However, the benefits of Papa being involved in breastfeeding are not only that, you know. There are long term benefits to be had. Dipa Andika, co-founder @super_thebest who is also the father of 3 children shared his experiences about his involvement in breastfeeding the baby. “The number one benefit bonding, “He said.
According to Dipa, when a father is really present and always there to help burp the baby after breastfeeding or even give milk, then the closeness between the child and the father will really be formed. “The closeness is totally total, he said.”
In addition, according to Dipa, when the closeness between the child and Papa is strong, then Papa is more acceptable when he wants to teach certain values to his child. Thus, parenting becomes more relaxed.
Dipa also argued that when a father is involved in breastfeeding, his knowledge will also increase because Papa will actively seek various information about breastfeeding and childcare. “Sometimes a wife wants to find information when there is no time. So the task of finding information is only his father. “
Jokingly, Dipa also said that the success of breastfeeding also has positive benefits in family finances. “If the breastfeeding is successful, it will be more economical because you don’t buy milk. Well, the money can be used to buy gadget or a bicycle, right, for those who like bicycles. Usually the gentlemen are excited if they are told this, “he said.
Weaning Made Easier
Talking about the success of breastfeeding, we also need to talk about the post-breastfeeding process. dr. Herbowo Soetomenggolo, Sp.A (K), Pediatrician, said Papa’s involvement in breastfeeding also made the weaning process easier. “Generally, many say that weaning is more difficult than breastfeeding,” she said.
When weaning, children need a distraction so they don’t keep looking for breast milk. Therefore, it is important for Papa to be close to the child so that they want to be carried by Papa when they wake up at night, want to play with Papa when they want to breastfeed. “It can’t be instant, you know. “You can’t do it at night when your little one wakes up suddenly invited by Papa,” he said. “If bondingI got it, it’s easy, really, weaning it, ”he added.
