Bath time is one of the epic moments to bond with the little bundle of joy. The babies early bedtimes would mean that some parents only get an hour or so with the baby after work before bedtime. Bath time comes as a quality substitute for the missed times. Dad and baby can enjoy some splashing around and playing with the bath toys before sudsing up and getting into bed.

 

Support during feeding

Irrespective of what the baby is feeding on, breastfeeding or formula, meals take up a chunk of time. Dads can be that extra arm reaching for the nursing pillows, glasses of water and some snacks for the mom. When the baby is feeding on formula, dads can easily take up some feedings and give the mom some much-needed break for that catnap. Also, who burps babies better than dads?

While bringing a child to the world is a huge life change for both the parents, dads have the advantage of being physically intact and a little less tired. While the mothers can be too tired, dads can step up and make decisions here and there, from deciding what’s for dinner to deciding on the baby visiting hours.
