Are you a New Dad and looking for answers here are some tips for New Dads from themommytale.
Being a dad for the first time is an incredible feeling. It is completely a different feeling from that of a new mother. The happiness that fathers experience while holding their baby for the time truly matches no other. However, the parental instincts of a father are not the same as the mother.
Essential Tips for New Dads
It is a natural instinct of a mother to immediately cater to her little one, but it is not the same for fathers. New dads often find it difficult to hold and manage they are newborn along with other family commitments. New dads need much more help than new moms. Following are few tips dads can use to bond with their babies.
Give time to your wife and your newborn.
Do not take any additional assignment or projects at work post your wife’s delivery. Babies need a lot of attention the first few months. This is the best time you can learn how to take care of your little one and also bond with her.
Patience is the key to be a good Dady.
The first virtue that we need to learn as parents are the key to patience. True, you might not have slept for nights. But remember your wife is also going through the same. You have to be patient and caring for your wife who is recovering as well as for your baby who has come into this new world and vary from its surroundings.
Keep your records up to date.
It is not only the mother’s responsibility to take the baby for doctor check-ups and vaccinations. You too should shoulder the responsibility and take charge of your little one.
Dady – do not hasitate
Many dads don’t learn as they hesitate due to fear. As a dad, you must overcome the fear of looking after your newborn with your own hands. Remember, whatever you do for your wife and little one, it is only going to take you more close to them.
Financial Planning before baby Planning.
Apart from the joy that your little one brings to your family, comes the burden of heavy expenses. There could be many unforeseen expenses that you had not planned. It is ideal if you plan your finance well before the baby arrives.
Playtime makes the bond stronger.
Engaging in play time with your baby helps develop an understanding between the two of you. This way you can give your wife a little time to relax as well as have some alone time with your baby.
Keep Panic away
Your newborn is still sensitive to the world around her. The first thing to remove from your mind is panic and fear. It’s normal for all new parents to feel nervous while taking care of their new babies. Falling sick is a part and parcel of every newborn’s life. If your baby is crying due cold, colic, or vaccination-related issues, do not panic. You and your partner should muster up the courage and look after your little one.
Welcome the sleepless nights.
Losing sleep is a part of parenting and you must be prepared for it. Do not get frustrated or over-anxious about losing your sleep. Support your wife to take care of the baby during the successive sleepless nights.
Enjoy each bit of this phase.
Babies grow up quickly and cross milestones before you even knew it. Milestones like tummy time, sitting, crawling, standing, and walking are the most cherished moments of a baby’s life. Ensure you do not miss them as you will regret later.
Never leave baby unattended
No matter what the reason may be, never leave your baby unattended. Ensure that you keep your baby away from electronic gadgets as their radiations are very harmful.
Although being a father calls for sacrifices, it is the best feeling in the world. Your baby’s smile will wipe away all the tiredness and those sleepless lines. Your baby will make fatherhood joyful and worth remembering.
I hope these tips will make a dady cool and soon your child will talk about her super hero among her friends.
