We hear it all the time from new dads: "I wish there was more I could do to help with the baby, but my wife breastfeeds." And while we appreciate the sentiment, we have seen enough resourceful partners stepping up to do their fair share [1]. The latest example comes from Toby Darnielle, who sent his wife, Ashley, a text message that every breastfeeding mom would appreciate seeing on their iPhone during an early-morning (or late-night . . . or heck, even a midafternoon) nursing session.

He doesn't necessarily write anything we didn't already know, but to acknowledge to the mother of his children that she is, in fact, making a sacrifice and that she's an "amazing mommy" is hands-down amazing.

"He knew I needed to hear this," Ashley wrote in a post on the popular Breastfeeding Mama Talk Facebook page [2]. We all did, Toby!
