I have to agree with Lori Werrell on this one.  I receive many phone calls at
the hospital from dad's. They are asking about breastfeeding!  None of the
info that I give out breaches confidentiality. They are usually genuinely
concerned, and many times I can hear the wife in the background answering or
asking questions about the situation. I also encourage dad's to attend the
prenatal breastfeeding class-usually about 50% of women are accompanied by
their partners.  Dads are part of the breastfeeding family. Wouldn't it be
nice if most dads were so concerned and involved with their partners and
children.
