There is so much out there about mother-infant bonding but fathers are equally as nurturing. Fathers have their own unique way of relating to their babies and babies need this difference. Studies on father bonding show that men who are given the opportunity and encouraged to take an active part in their children’s care become just as nurturing as mothers. Fathers should be encouraged to care for their infants in every way. If a mother is breastfeeding there are plenty of other opportunities for fathers to help–holding, changing, bathing, rocking, talking, soothing and even babywearing! (Baby carriers and slings come in sizes to fit anyone.) Skin-to-skin holding is also a wonderful way to fathers to bond. Some men feel comfortable with all this and others need more encouragement. It is probably less “instinctual” for fathers but is certainly as rewarding.
