How Fathers Can Bond With Their Baby

BabyCouture - How Fathers Can Bond With Their Baby
We regularly talk about the special bond that children have with their mothers but often forget to mention the bond that a father shares with the child. Not too long ago, you would have never imagined a father participating at a baby shower but this has all changed. Now fathers are more actively involved in the caring and nurturing of their baby or child. If you as a dad are not sure how you can help out here are a few tips that will help you create the bond we are talking about:

Get Involved In Feeding
Feeding a newborn is a special moment and it is something that every mother remembers all her life. Dads can also be a part of this memorable time by bringing the baby to the mother. Then once the baby is fed, fathers can take the baby and help them take a burp. If on the other hand you are feeding your baby with a bottle of feeding-formula, then fathers should feed the baby. It is a great opportunity to really nurture the baby.

Talk To Your Baby
A newborn baby experiences things for the very first time and hence the environment can be a little overwhelming. In times like these a soothing and comforting voice can be great to calm the nerves of your baby. The baby is sure to have heard voices while in the womb. One of those voices was yours, so if you talk to him or her they will surely recognize it. So talk as frequently as possible with your baby to create a bond and also to improve your communication with your baby.

Sleep Mode
One of the fondest (and forgettable) moments that all parents share is the sleepless nights of putting their babies to sleep. But this can also prove to be the most engaging time because it will be just you and your baby. So try and rock your baby to sleep while you securely hold your baby in your big wide arms. This is also good for the baby as it makes them feel loved and protected.

Calm And Sooth Your Crying Baby
Dads should not be scared or avoid picking up their baby if he or she is crying. Remember that this is the way your baby is going to communicate with you. It will not take you too long to understand what your baby wants just by the sound of the cry. This understanding is not a gift that only mothers are born with; even fathers can develop this instinct.

Shop For Baby Clothes
Mothers are known to go shopping for baby clothes because fathers simply do not have the patience to go out and search for baby clothes. Now fathers can easily buy baby clothes online India from BabyCouture. Shopping online for baby clothes is also convenient for mothers that cannot leave home after giving birth.
