A lot of adjustments are required from the father with the arrival of the new baby. He has to make a smooth transition in order to make life easy for his partner and the new baby. His role changes especially if the partner is also working.
Here are some useful and terrific parenting tips for fathers.
1. The new dad has an additional role to play as a caregiver. He is the provider who earns; and a protector, to see that the family is safe and secure, and now is a care- giver. Life is not merely about himself and his partner but becomes all about the baby. It is an encompassing relationship. The transition can be made easy with realistic expectations.
2. New dads find that with a baby, their relationship changes with their partner. The new baby will take up most of mom's time and energy. She will focus less on her partner. But there will be a change for the better. Love grows and blooms in the relationship of three. Working for a common good -- the baby, family and home life can be a great experience.
3. Dad has to bond with the baby. He will not bond as quickly as mom. She spends more time and breast-feeds the baby, thus establishing a very close union. Babies can communicate through touch. Caressing the baby will get you both closer. Have an eye contact as well. Babies love music -- so sing to them. Do not skip the pediatrician's visits. It will make dad learn more and bond better. Bathe the baby; take him for a walk in his pram. Be patient through the whole process. It is an important time and increases that closeness as the baby grows and matures.
