When a baby is born, many dads are not sure what they can do to help mom. For them, it seems like all the baby wants is a mom and the breast-feeding. Dads can feel overwhelmed and helpless and, honestly, clueless as to what they can do to help mom and baby.
This post will help them to know “How they can help”.
You can help her:
- Help her recover from birth (C-section or vaginal)
- Support her feeding (breastfeeding or formula feeding) goals
- You can take care of the older baby
- Help around the house, reduce stress for your partner & make sure she gets enough rest.
- Burp the baby after a feed- dad’s chest is great for this.
- Care for the baby in ways other than feeding (baths, diaper changes, walks)
- Show your appreciation
