The immense pressure a mother feels having to go through all the physical changes, emotional changes and the responsibility that only you can provide for your baby (if breastfeeding) even though you have just been through a horrific labour, haven't slept for three days and the baby won't stop crying...!!!!!

Firstly congrats on ya little one!!
Its always a big transition or couple having a baby, some make it some don't, unfortunately I didn't, I had a little girl and my then husband didn't like not being No1 anymore, the jealously was just unbearable and we ended up separating!
The thing is before baby comes its pretty much you and your other half and nothing else really matters and no matter how much baby is wanted and planned for things change! Obviously the lady goes through some major changes but there's major changes for the man in all of this too. His partners world no longer revolves around him, he is no longer No1 and, well, he has to take a back seat really specially during the day and by the time evening comes and baby is down for the night (hopefully) the lady is washed out. It ends up a vicious circle.
You need to recover some "you and your lady" time, get someone to sit for a couple of hours so you can go for a meal or even just walk. Make sure you realize that your woman still loves you madly, you're lives have change in a big way and if you can hang on int here you'll be great
Good luck

The partner might feel a bit spare as he cannot do much at these times. The couple should try to share all the aspects of the new life they have created that are possible. The man can do cleaning up, bathing, changing, dressing and walking out pram or push chair pushing. This could give the women rest and time to herself. Neither should neglect the other and neither should be in a position where they are considered surplus to requirements.

Men do require a lot of attention and with a new baby and a breastfeeding mom, there isn't much time for dad. Men shouldn't take it personally and women should make sure their partners are included in baby care so they don't feel left out and special time should be set aside for the relationship. It is not easy though. Mom's don't get much sleep with a new baby and new responsibility and dad's should be as understanding as possible.

This looks like a homework question...
During...the emotional instability from the hormones and his new responsibilities of taking care of a child.
Latter...I'm not sure how "breastfeeding" can specificly have an effect on the relationship. My guess...her breasts are sore and they can be messy to "play with" and he probably won't feel comfortable with that.
