Get daddy's involved ASAP

It is so important to get the daddy’s involved in their baby’s lives. Remember if you are a first time mom and don’t know what to do, than your first time daddy isn’t going to know either. It maybe scary, but you have to let them do things. Sometimes you have to make them do things. If you don’t have a hands on daddy in the beginning, you need to make him one. Tell him what to do in a nice way of course. Get him changing diapers from the start. Trust me he is not going to break him. He has to bond with the baby as well and most daddies are afraid of the baby or afraid you won’t approve of what he is doing. When you give daddy a job to do and he does it don’t tell him he is doing it wrong! Everyone does things differently and if you tell him he is doing things wrong all the time than you will no longer get help. I had my husband give our kids baths and put them to sleep when they got older. Since he is at work all day he would have bath time every night with the kids. I got a few minutes to myself and he got to form a relationship with his kids with a simple chore. Even though the kids are older he still enjoys spending this time with them.
