The arrival of the baby is a team effort in which the dads are fully involved.
The birth of his child can be very intimidating for the father who can feel excluded from the sometimes close relationship with the mother. Its role is however just as important and stimulating from the birth of the baby.
What is the role of dad?
Some think that the role of the father only begins at 6 months or a year and that before that he has no place. However, many studies show the opposite by asserting that he can be involved from birth and establish a relationship just as strong, but different, than with the mother.
Taking care of it as early as possible strengthens the bond and helps to get to know your child better. Whether it’s feeding it, changing it, washing it, dressing it or even playing with it, taking care of it as often as possible not only allows you to learn, but also to become familiar with one another. with the other.
What is the role of the mother vis-à-vis the father?
In the first few months, it can be difficult for the mother to delegate or not to dictate how things are done to her partner. If of course the father may need to be guided at the beginning, there is no reason to leave him as much room as possible, even if he does it differently.
Dialogue and trust must therefore be at the heart of the parental relationship so that everyone can do what they deem necessary and can build the relationship with their child. Trusting your partner allows you to better delegate and raise your baby together, as a team.
