Human baby is born with a readymade food supply and breast feeding has, for ages, been considered natural and instinctive. Successful nursing depends upon the presence of a strongly motivated mother and father, a healthy suckling infant and an encouraging doctor. Although various factors affect a woman's decision to breast feed her baby, the inspiration and support provided by her husband plays a vital role.

Abstract


Human baby is born with a readymade food supply and breast feeding has, for ages, been considered natural and instinctive. Successful nursing depends upon the presence of a strongly motivated mother and father, a healthy suckling infant and an encouraging doctor. Although various factors affect a woman's decision to breast feed her baby, the inspiration and support provided by her husband plays a vital role.
