“As an expecting father I will make sure to accompany my wife for ANC visits, provide a four star diet and iron rich foods for the growing baby and after giving birth to ensure sufficient quantity and quality milk production. I will also support her with household chores to make sure she has plenty of time to breastfeed our baby.”
