Do you have a problem in taking care of your newborn child? Does your husband help you on taking care of your baby especially at night? I know it because Dad can use all the excuses they want to not to rock baby to sleep. They did not know that there is a lifetime benefit for him whenever he get closer to his baby and to help you get some rest in the process.
Changing diapers, breast feeding every two hours and rocking your baby is a very exhausting job and some husbands don't realize that. They thought that it is the mother should do the unending job for their baby. They did know that a little help is much appreciated and also they are not aware that the parent bond can only happen in a limited period of time Some dads use work as an excuse; some awkwardness at holding the newborn while some still refuse to share in responsibilities because they say it is a woman's job.
But still there father who also wants to help their wife on taking care of their children, they are few but still a woman is lucky to have them. Before you get too enthusiastic and start yelling for your husband to pick up the baby on the dot. Remember this do not force your baby on your husband. There is an opposite effect on them, be considerate if he is just come home from work and tired, he
also needs a quite time. You know most men don't like being told what to do. Give his some time a half hour maybe, and then slowly you build up their exclusive time together and when the baby respond to her dad excitedly with her cute smile and sweetness will charm his father and you will be surprise if the next day hell be so addicted to his new baby. And that the start of your Calvary in taking care of the baby alone. Mommy also know how to make this thing progress.
The bond started if dad will already at rest you just ask him in a nice way to play with his baby. We know that woman are gentler taking care of the baby but man are not. Men are livelier and energetic when it comes to play they have an extra energy despite of long hours of work. With this, Dad can help stimulate baby muscles with some gentle massage and exercise. But also make some precaution on how your husband play with the baby, because some play their baby by tossing them on air and bouncing them with their knee. They don't know that too much shaking is dangerous for baby. At bath time once in a while especially when there is no work or weekend let him do the bath for his baby. And let him stroll together when there is free time. You must know your husbands mood when he is ok and nothing to do, then try to teach him how to change diapers. From this little help is a great way to make your baby and his father bond.
