My newborn baby loves her dad. She bothers all day until her dad comes. She is only one month old.

In the months that I've been pregnant, I've already read countless articles about what to do and what not to do. Where my husband hasn't read one darn thing. That's what scares me about him taking care of the baby. He wouldn't do anything intentially bad, but if you asked him today what causes SIDS, he would have no clue. I feel like I'm preaching to him when I tell him what I've read.
Hopefully it sticks though.

It was so hard for me and my boyfriend to get on the same page once the baby was born. we argued and fussed we are both young and new to this and we do not live together yet but I realized all he wants is to spend time with her because I ave her all the time I was nervous about leaving them alone but I guess its just natural she is 2 months now and we are getting along much better. We mothers have to sometime step aside and let them in the picture too so they won't feel left out even if its just little things like feeding. Let them help!!!

Review 5 for Share The Baby (it's His Kid Too)

I liked this article because I have been raising my son on my own since he was a month old due to my husband being deployed to Afghanistan. When he comes back home, our son will be 10/11 months old and obviously I will know all his cues and his routine. I know I need to be patient and respectful that my husband is going from being a soldier in a warzone to a dad who's going to be bonding with a more independent baby than when he left. I have a feeling it's going to be easier to just keep doing what I have been doing through this whole deployment, on my own, raising my son, establishing a routine, it's going to be hard to let someone else help me out, but just like he trained to deploy, he will need time to train to be a dad. This article gave some nice tips to let that happen and know it's okay and you can trust the father to take care of the child, after all, like it states, he's IS the father.

Affirmation is huge. Telling others how grateful you are for your husbands help or commenting on how well he does as a father in the presence of others goes a long way.

This article is very true. Especially for first time mom trying to get our rountine down, bond & it's very hard to let go of the little one we have waiting so long for. Bonding is equaling important for dad & we need to step back, look at all the ways he can help & give him time to bond with baby too. I think it very important to allow dad to hold, feed, change & play with our baby. Include dad in as much as possible. Dad needs to feel important during this time. While mom is recouperating allow dad to help as much as possible.

This article makes plenty of sense. I had a hard time trusting him with the baby but I found it really helpful letting him take over little by little instead of right away. Now I feel comfortable going to run errands and know that he is capable of doing it alone.
