The baby is inside you for nine months. It is a given that the relationship between a mother and child is unique. But, after the arrival of your bundle of joy, you have to make room for the father.
More and more fathers want to get involved in different duties like giving the baby a bottle or changing diapers. They can never take the place of the mother but fathers need their own relationship with children.
A father helps a baby gain independence from his mother. There are no perfect fathers just as there are no perfect moms either.
Fathers can be more direct in how they offer instructions. Kids can therefore learn how to perform a task faster. Fathers play a vital role in a child’s development. They help a child grow up and learn how to cut the cord from mom.
A father’s voice is deeper and can often be more reassuring to a baby who is sensitive to these kinds of things.
It is important for mothers to leave room for the father in a baby’s life after birth.
