Proud Dads

We have talked about becoming a parent for the first time. New babies and being a new Mum – but what about Dad…. has he been forgotten?.

No not at all with us. It takes two to tango as they say. Once you are pregnant you will need your partners support more than ever. Then when Baby is born again Dad’s come into their own.

They are you support system. It is important for the new Dad to bond with his son/daughter just as much as the new Mum.

Sit in a comfortable chair, in a quite place in the house and make time to get to know your new precious bundle. It has been nine long months for you too. You can help with the thousands of jobs around the house that will need doing, plus bathing, changing ( not for every dad we know!) and possibly feeding… depending on circumstance.

You will learn what your new addition likes and dislikes just as your partner is,  you are both learning together, it is a magical time for all three of you.

When you take baby out for it’s walks let him push the buggy/pram – at least some of the time. When baby cries let him go and settle the baby – it needs to learn from both of you.

You both have a very important role to play. You are now the proud parents of one of life’s most precious gifts… enjoy!
