Sean is 34 years old and has been married to Aoife for 4 years. He's father to Leni, a beautiful little girl of 10 months, who was exclusively breastfed for 6 months and continues to be breastfed alongside solids.
They live in Dublin and he works as a director in an engineering firm.

The best thing for me as a Dad of a breastfed baby is the sense of giving my child the best possible start in life.
They are so small and fragile in those early days and when my wife told me that our baby would have a reduced chance of infections,reduced chance of diabetes and obesity etc., etc. - I just thought that that was the most powerful and amazing thing one human could do for another.

The bond that is established between mother & baby is unique and a joy to behold. My bond with my daughter is extremely strong; it's my job to bathe her (lots of laughs) and get her ready for bed. We also attend swimming lessons together which are great fun and time just for me and her. I feel proud that my wife has grown her from scratch when I see how well she's developing. I think it is my job to be supportive of breastfeeding and to believe in it as much as my wife does. It's the normal way to feed a baby after all.
The little swallowing noises my daughter makes are beyond cute and I could listen to them all night (well, nearly all night!)
For me it is wonderful to watch nature at work and knowing my little girl is getting liquid gold makes me even more proud of my wonderful wife.
