“…The negative consequences of this can be several. Firstly, fathers could be less informed and prepared than mothers if they feel that the information given is not directed at them (Ingram & Johnson, 2004;Shepherd, Power, & Carter, 2000). Secondly, it can lead to difficulties for the father to feel more immediately involved at a deeper level of parenthood (Early, 2001;Hawkins et al, 1995;Henderson & Brouse, 1991).…”

“…If women are supported and encouraged by their partners in lifestyle changes, they are more likely to continue with actions beneficial for their health (SomersSmith, 1999;Ingram and Johanson, 2004). It is important for the father to be recognised and given the opportunity to communicate with the midwife in perinatal care.…”

Objective: To describe how men from the Middle East experience Swedish maternity and child health care. An integral part of the aim of this study has also been to describe the experiences of men from the Middle East when becoming and being a father in Sweden. Design, setting and participants: an exploratory, qualitative study using focus-group discussions and individual interviews, with a semi-structured interview guide and content analysis. A total of 16 men participated. Ten Arabicspeaking men from the Middle East living in Sweden participated in three focus-group discussions. Six men from the Middle East living in Sweden, and speaking Swedish, participated in individual interviews. Findings: three main categories were developed: meeting empathic professionals; finding new positions within the family; and experiencing social demands. Key conclusions and implications for practice: seeing their partners being met individually and with empathy by midwives and child health-care nurses encouraged men to become involved in areas not previously open to them (i.e. pregnancy, childbirth and the care of babies and young children). As the women often lacked knowledge of Swedish, they depended on the help of their partners when meeting maternity and child health-care professionals. The men found the experience of living in an alien country difficult. They were often unemployed, felt they were a burden to their wives after emigrating to Sweden, and that they were no longer a suitable role model for their children.

“…Studies have also shown how social network members (e.g. spouses, grandmothers) armed with pro-breast-feeding knowledge can facilitate the extent to which mothers perceive their social environments as being supportive of breast-feeding (34)(35)(36) .…”

Objective: To identify the social contextual factors, specifically the presence of information that supports v. undermines clinical recommendations, associated with infant feeding behaviours among mothers in low-income areas. Design: Cross-sectional survey evaluating social support networks and social relationships involved in providing care to the infant along with feeding beliefs and practices. Setting: Out-patient paediatric and government-funded (Women, Infants, and Children) clinics in an urban, low-income area of the south-eastern USA. Subjects: Eighty-one low-income mothers of infants between 0 and 12 months old. Results: Most mothers reported receiving both supportive and undermining advice. The presence of breast-feeding advice that supports clinical recommendations was associated with two infant feeding practices that are considered beneficial to infant health: ever breast-feeding (OR = 6·7; 95 % CI 1·2, 38·1) and not adding cereal in the infant's bottle (OR = 15·9; 95 % CI 1·1, 227·4). Advice that undermines clinical recommendations to breast-feed and advice about solid foods were not associated with these behaviours.
