New Dads

When you are in the happy position of expecting a baby and as things proceed on their merry way we all tend to concentrate on the new mum to be and the new baby, and no one spares a thought for poor old dad to be!

He has done his part so to speak – but here with us Dad is just as important as mum.

He has a vital role to play during the pregnancy, and an even greater one during the birth.

Then afterwards it is not only mum who will be suffering lots of sleepless nights but dad will as well.

It is a huge adjustment time for everyone and wetotally understand here and hope that someone in the family unit spares a thought for the new dad.

In some cases it is going to be his money/credit/bank card that will be used to purchases so we all need to spare a thought for him.

Advice for Dads

Once your wife/partner tells you that she is expecting you are either jubiliant and jumping round the room for joy or you are shocked or ( and lets hope not ) you are horrified and not a happy bunny shall we say.

Later on down the line you have now adjusted to the idea, she is feeling sick most of the time and things are really beginning to sink in now, this is for real.

So often men are left out of the equasion of having a baby. It takes two people in the first place and it takes two all the way along the line.

Everyone fusses around the women, and we completely agree with that, she should be, but we all forget about the poor old man that helped in this venture.

You now have womens hormones to contend with ( good luck! ) and the birth, and all the expenses, and then the most wonderful gift of all the arrival of your son or daughter into the world.

Then sleepless nights, no money and so it goes on.

Now that we have painted a really bleak picture for you – you are probably completely turned off having sex by now let alone children, the rewards far outway all that has correctly been stated above.

The first time you see and hold your child will melt your heart. The love you will feel for it is like no other, completely overwhelming, the sense of achievement and pride that you created this life will fill your heart with joy, and you will quickly turn into one of those people that carries a photo around with them, and talks about the baby all day long.

We know that you would never believe that at this stage, but you will, and you can count on that!

Start saving if you can, this is only practical advice, as for the next long long time you are going to need more money than you had ever expected to need.

It all sounds so down and gloomy, but it really isn’t anything like that. It is the most wonderful things you are going to do in your life…….

Advice for Dads

When the subject of babies comes along we all tend to think of women. The mother of the child. Dads or the Man just seem to get left by the road side somehow.

Dads play a vital and important part right from the start in our opinion and are greatly overlooked.

We all know that is takes 2 to make a baby, but you also need two to make good parents. Baby whichever sex you have needs both of you, you both have your strong points.

A new mum needs her man and he needs the women so in our eyes men are hugely important.

When she is expecting, try to be patient with her as her hormones are all over the place and she may not be feeling all that great either.

When baby is born again she will probably be quite emotional so tact and discretion are key here, but she needs to remember that you are out of your comfort zone to, so you are on this wonderful, new and exciting journey together and we hope that you share this fantasatic experience and never forget that bringing another life into the world is one of the biggest things that you are probably going to do while you are on this planet – so enjoy every minute of it!

Advice for New Dads

We talk a lot about the baby and the new mum but what about the new dad he seems to get forgotton about, well not with us he doesn’t. The man in your life has just been through the same nine months that you have – we know ladies that it was you suffering ( we don’t want to get you all angry or upset! ) but your other half had to adjust to a totally new women in his life and now a baby – this is a huge adjustment for anyone to take in.

The hormones all over the place with you and then afterwards maybe the baby blues as they call them – life is wonderful and yet complicated at the same time at the moment.

So remember to spare a thought for your other half – he has just become a dad for the first time or maybe a second if he is really lucky.

It is always a good idea to share the duties of parenting if you can – you don’t have to do everything you know. He can change a nappy or feed baby or cradle them off to sleep if he is this way enclined.

Some men will have nothing to do with changing a nappy it all depends on what sort of partner you have.
