Actor Dwayne Johnson, aka "The Rock," has shown through his Instagram account that breastfeeding is not just a woman's thing.
In the photo he has shared, he looks like, with a big smile, he feeds his wife, who has her hands busy holding her baby for only two months while breastfeeding. The photo shows that, Although they can't breastfeed, parents can do a lot of things to support breastfeeding.
No time to eat
More than one mother will have felt identified with Lauren Hashian, the wife of one of the highest paid actors in the cinema. The first months of the baby you spend literally with the tit out and sometimes it is difficult to take time even to go to the bathroom. In addition, babies seem to have a sensor that tells them when you are ready to eat to ask for their ration and in the end you always eat cold dinner.
But that does not happen if you have "La Roca" at home. A tough guy who pulls his tender side so that "his girls" dine at the same time:
"I'm going to take care of this. Mom @laurenhashianofficial has her hands busy breastfeeding / feeding baby Tia, so I'm giving mommy dinner. The pleasure is mine. My respects to her and to all the moms they hold and direct things. "
This is the text that accompanies the photo that has already obtained almost 4 million likes.

Dads, there are many ways to help
Although only women can breastfeed our babies, breastfeeding is a matter of two. There are many ways in which daddies can support, favor and protect breastfeeding, and not only as assistants (but also). What can be done as a man to support a nursing mother?:
- What Dwayne Jonson has done: free mother of housework and lend a hand in those months in which we practically live with the baby hooked on the tit. In addition to helping with food as the actor does, offer a glass of water (breastfeeding is very thirsty), cushions to find a more comfortable position, bring the phone or the remote control of the TV that always stay away ...
- To make pineapple: Many times (more than you should) breastfeeding mothers have to endure unwanted advice or misplaced comments about breastfeeding. Whether you decide to laugh at them, answer sharply or campaign for breastfeeding, it is always better to do it as a team than to continue feeding the idea that breastfeeding is a woman's business.
- Give support when there are problems: Breastfeeding when it hurts, when hormones play tricks on you or when the baby cries without stopping and we think we don't have milk is very hard, especially since many times you don't know who to turn to. Here the figure of the couple is crucial, reminding you that you will be able to do it, that the pain will pass, that you are able to breastfeed your baby and looking for the help needed to solve the problem.
Dad's role in this matter is far from that of seconds. There are many things that men can do to protect breastfeeding and that your child can receive the enormous health and emotional benefits that he reports.
