Trina's husband Cole here back for another "guest post" on the topic of fatherhood. Becoming a dad is a really exciting thing and most dads I know couldn't wait until the baby was finally born. For nine months the mom "hogs" the baby (even though she'd gladly share if it was possible) and gets to feel every turn, punch, and kick. When Trina was pregnant with L I absolutely could not wait for her to be born so that I could hold her and begin to bond with her. After delivery though, and once Trina started breastfeeding, I realized that I'd really have to capitalize on any opportunities for bonding because babies nurse and sleep a lot, which means limited chances for dad to hold the baby. These are the best ways I found that dads can bond with their new baby.

You may be amazed by how much time you spend sitting with a baby, whether that is nursing during the day, relaxing before bed or playing after naptime. You provide the most comfort to your child when you are […]

Oh yes, the good old pack n play. The place where small toys, puffs, and mashed carrots thrive. In each nook and cranny of your child's pack n play is a load of grime, dirt, dust, and particles that you’d be disgusted to admit you found. The good news is, learning how to clean a pack […]
