For the past few months, on Brielle’s monthly birthday, I’ve been sharing some advice and recommendations from my perspective as a first time mom (FTM). Today, I have a very special collaboration which features my hubby in honor of his first Father’s Day! Here are some points Super Dad Derek is passing along to other new dads or soon to be new dads!
- DO take the morning shift. While it is hard to get up really early, this is usually the most smiley and happy time for baby. It’s nice to soak up these happy times before a long day at work and better than the possibly grumpy/nap deprived baby you’ll come home to later.
- DO take over bath time. At first it’s nice to have all their attention while you clean them since they don’t do very much, but later it’s fun to watch them splash around with their toys.
- DON’T stay up late and DO sleep whenever you get an opportunity. That old advice “sleep when the baby sleeps” is very true when it comes to newborns!
