Fathers make a big difference in whether infants are breastfed and are put to sleep safely, according to a new study.
June 16, 2023 – Fathers make a big difference in whether infants are breastfed and are put to sleep safely, according to a study published inThe study of 250 fathers in Georgia found that among those who wanted their infant to be breastfed, 95% reported their child started breastfeeding and 78% reported breastfeeding at 8 weeks.
The study reported that 99% of fathers put their infants to sleep. But only 16% of those fathers used the three recommended practices of putting the infant to sleep on their back, using an approved sleep surface such as a crib or a bassinet, and avoiding soft bedding such as blankets or stuffed animals.
"Our findings underscore that new fathers are a critical audience to promote breastfeeding and safe infant sleep," lead author John James Parker, MD, an instructor of pediatrics at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, said in a Northwestern news release.
