husbands know that the baby needs the breast more than the enjoyment daddy might think he has in it to take.

“Apart from the challenges coming from the fathers and the challenges of having to sit for long hours trying to express the milk, if you are doing exclusive breastfeeding, even at the place of work, you will not feel relaxed.

“This is because the breasts would still be in that biological state of reminding you that the baby wants to feed.

“You will always have a full breast that will be making you uncomfortable. You might be having pains, headaches and sometimes, I might need to go to the ladies and try to express the milk out so that I will feel relieved. Though it is not comfortable, I believe as mothers, we should be willing, ready, and committed to exclusive breastfeeding.

“And whatever challenge that comes our way as we do it, we should find a way round it. As mothers, we have to be the ones making the necessary sacrifices to make it work. You have to sacrifice your sleep and comfort.”
