Paternity leave has also led to an increase of breastfeeding on behalf of the mother. Research has shown when fathers take paternity leave, the likelihood of mothers to continue breastfeeding increases. This is in relation to fathers providing help with everyday household chores while also providing direct support to the mother, reducing her stress levels and make breastfeeding easier. In return, the health benefits of the child also increase due to the advantages of breastfeeding.
