What kind of help can a dad provide after the birth of a child? She directly carries the baby under her heart and physically feels how he grows. Therefore, the woman usually takes care of all the concerns about the future family member. During this period, dads often work a lot, trying to provide financially for their young, growing family. However, there are things besides money in which dad’s help is extremely important. A large number of men mistakenly believe that all their help while expecting a baby and after its birth is only about making money. Since the spouse is on maternity leave, let her take upon herself everything that concerns the baby. But a woman’s body needs to recover after childbirth. And sometimes fatigue just accumulates if a young mother “carries” everything on herself. Help in caring for a newborn is never superfluous. It’s in vain that dads also delegate their powers to grandmothers. Of course, the baby is extremely attached to the mother (both psychologically and physically). However, there are things that are not difficult for the spouse, but at the same time will relieve the young mother. Dad’s most valuable help can be in the little things: warming himself and his wife up to eat, washing and hanging laundry, collecting dirty diapers under the changing pad and throwing out the trash. A tired mom is sometimes simply unable to do this. Dad's help in such cases will be appreciated when the wife spends her freed mental strength on him. Young fathers in most cases are afraid to hold their baby in their arms; they do not know how to properly hold, change or feed him. But this absolutely does not mean that a man cannot participate in the life of a child from his first days. When the baby grows up, dad will become an example of that very support for his family. It is a misconception and an insidious mistake to push dad aside at the birth of a child. A young mother already has much less time for him. The husband will feel superfluous in the family and thrown out of the life of his most beloved people - his beloved and son/daughter. It is the opportunity to help them in at least something that allows a man to remain included in the life of the family. Gradually, as the baby ages, his contribution will become greater and greater.
