I’m a new dad. How do I care for my baby?

Postnatal, Your questions

Marie, HELP! I want to help my wife take care of my baby, but I have never bathed one, or changed a diaper. How can I help without making too many mistakes?

Please read my article Learning my New Role as Father. There is a ton of great information!
