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

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?

Robert

Such a cute question! No one is born with innate parenting skills. There are many ways to learn how to become a parent. Giving a bath isn’t very difficult, but there are some basic principles to follow to wash the baby’s tiny corners. Learning to be a father is like learning a new job. Please read my article Learning my New Role as Father. There is a ton of great information!

 

Talk soon,

Marie
