In many African societies, a woman is expected to be solely responsible for taking care of the children and domestic chores. This expectation places a lot of burden on women, especially new mums who need support to be able to take care of themselves and the new born.
As the world celebrates breastfeeding, one father has spoken out on how he support his wife in spite of what people say.
Unicef Nigeria shared this inspiring story of Micheal. Read below:
#WeAreStillHere! Michael is a truck driver with a construction firm in Abuja. A proud father of three, Michael is a proud winner of the prize of model father and defender of exclusive breastfeeding at a baby show in Abuja. Michael supports his wife with various house chores to give her opportunity to exclusively breastfeed their baby. “My colleagues call me “woman wrapper” because I support my wife so she can exclusively breastfeed our baby, but I don’t care. I know the benefits of exclusive breastfeeding,” he said. Support your wife today to exclusively breastfeed, it is a healthy start in life for your baby. #breastfeeding
