Information that helps fathers understand and feel comfortable with breastfeeding.

"Studies show that seventy-five percent of new moms choose to breastfeed if they get support from their male partners. And education is key to getting them on board."
DEAN EDELL, M.D.

Researchers and mothers know how important fathers' support is to breastfeeding success. But fathers worry that breastfeeding will leave them out of the action -- and leave their partners unattractive and uninterested in anything but the baby. Breastfeeding Facts for Fathers, just released from Platypus Media, is a 24-page booklet, packed with information, humor, tips for fathers who want to know more about breastfeeding.

Breastfeeding is usually considered a woman's issue, but men have a crucial role to play in not only encouraging their partners to breastfeed, but also in helping to create a culture in which breastfeeding women are visible, accepted and valued. This highly entertaining pamphlet gives men the answers to the issues that trouble him most.

Written by a practicing pediatrician, Dr. Clifford Galanis developed this booklet in conjunction with the Platypus Media team of experts who created Breastfeeding Annual International and Breastfeeding At a Glance. It is a perfect addition to the prenatal, postpartum or breastfeeding kits for new families from midwives, obstetricians, pediatricians, lactation consultants, health clinics and WIC offices.

Breastfeeding Facts for Fathers cheerfully debunks such myths as:

I was raised on formula and I came out just fine.
I don't want my wife making a spectacle of herself in public.
Why should she bother starting, when she's going back to work?
My child won't bond with me if he's at his mother's breast all the time.
My wife has no business breastfeeding, she eats junk food and drinks beer.
Is it true that breastfeeding women have no interest in sex?
