Studies have identified fathers' attitude as the strongest indicator of whether her partner will breastfeed.
To determine the attitudes and knowledge of fathers toward breastfeeding.
The study included 84 volunteer fathers who answered a survey.
Mean age of participants was 27 years. Most fathers (88%) would like their partners to breastfeed. Most men (56%) reported that it is acceptable for a woman to breastfeed in public. Negative attitudes included feeling jealous about breastfeeding (10%), thinking that breastfeeding is bad for breasts (17%), breastfeeding makes breasts look ugly (26%), and breastfeeding separates the baby from the father (7%). A few misconceptions about breastfeeding were identified.
Most fathers have positive attitudes towards breastfeeding. We should emphasize the importance of exclusive breastfeeding and clarify misconceptions that may cause early discontinuation of breastfeeding. Programs directed toward educating fathers will help them serve as sources of support for their partners.
研究表明，父亲的态度是其伴侣是否进行母乳喂养的最有力指标。
确定父亲对母乳喂养的态度和知识。
该研究纳入了84名志愿参与的父亲，他们回答了一项调查问卷。
参与者的平均年龄为27岁。大多数父亲（88%）希望其伴侣进行母乳喂养。大多数男性（56%）表示女性在公共场合进行母乳喂养是可以接受的。消极态度包括对母乳喂养感到嫉妒（10%）、认为母乳喂养对乳房有害（17%）、母乳喂养会使乳房看起来难看（26%）以及母乳喂养会使婴儿与父亲分离（7%）。还发现了一些关于母乳喂养的误解。
大多数父亲对母乳喂养持积极态度。我们应强调纯母乳喂养的重要性，并澄清可能导致过早停止母乳喂养的误解。针对父亲的教育项目将有助于他们为伴侣提供支持。
