Bonding With Baby – New Dad’s Guide To Getting Close With Your Newborn
A new dad cannot breastfeed. But he can a whole lot of other things for bonding with baby, both before and after birth. Find tips on what to do here.
Welcome, New Dad!
Here, you’ll find articles on how to bond with your baby, how to help out during childbirth, explanations on what happens to both your own hormones (yes, they are affected!), and those of baby’s mom. Polls, tips, and much more.
A new dad (a very tired new dad) described his view of being a new father:
“Well, as a new dad, our mission is to help out, but of course it is limited since we can’t breastfeed.
Instead, we can work to bring home money, clean the house, do the laundry, do all the shopping, cooking, planning, taking care of the garden, diapering (day and night), burping (day and night), taking the baby out for stroller walks during the weekends, so that mom can sleep, volunteer to take care of all the early mornings, and of course, give my wife foot massage.
And not complain of course.
And be very understanding when she complains about being tired.”
