LOS ANGELES — Danny Rollins of Compton became a dad just one month ago, when his son Braylen was born. "I can't take my eyes off of him. I love being around him and holding him," he said. "It's really a beautiful thing right now."
Rollins, 32, is taking two months off from his job as a barber to be with his new family, but he's still hard at work. "I'm security, chef, taxi driver. I clean. I've been mainly the one doing the cooking."
But one of his most important roles is being part of his infant's breastfeeding team. When his wife is nursing, he brings her snacks and water, gets the breast pump ready for her after she nurses, and then stores the milk. "Breastfeeding is hard work and it's tiring," he said. "I knew I would have to step up and make sure she had everything she needs."
