The Playbook: The Man's Guide to Breastfeeding
Booklet Order Form
The Playbook: The Man's Guide to Breastfeeding is a booklet created specifically for men to learn more about breastfeeding and how they can best support their breastfeeding partner. The project stems from the fact that while a woman’s decision on whether to breastfeed (and how long to do so) is greatly influenced by whether she has her partner’s support, there is little breastfeeding literature directed toward men.
