A new study shows a striking link between the support that dads offer and better infant outcomes
Fathers matter. A new study — a rare effort that focuses solely on the father’s involvement in an infant’s life — shows a striking link between the support that dads offer and better infant outcomes. The research sought to answer several questions about paternal participation in breastfeeding and the use of safe sleep practices for babies.
Overall, almost a third of the fathers involved in this survey did not receive enough or any advice about safe sleep practices, according to the study. Dad’s role in breastfeeding Breastfeeding can be a huge boon for an infant’s health, aiding immunity, overall well-being and parental bonding. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends exclusively breastfeeding a child for at least the first six months.
