Fathers are increasingly becoming involved in the care of their children. But they don’t need to wait until a child can catch a football to be involved. If a mom is breastfeeding and/or is able to be home with baby while dad works then she has many, many opportunities to bond with her baby. Fathers can help care for a baby by changing him or her, feeding a bottle, or bathing. It’s great to do those things and give mom a needed break but there are other wonderful ways to bond with your young son or daughter. For example, holding and carrying your child in a baby sling or baby carrier (otherwise known as babywearing) is something dads can do to feel close to their young infants. Many moms have discovered babywearing and dads should be encouraged to join in. With a little practice babywearing becomes second nature. A dad may not be able to breastfeed or give birth but he can learn to wear his baby and it’s a wonderful way to bond.
