Becoming a new father opens up a whole new world in your life.
There really is nothing like it. And they say nothing can prepare you for fatherhood, but I'd like to say that's not true.
Every baby is different, but we're all much more alike than we like to believe. All babies need love, guidance, acceptance, patience, and protection.
Being a new dad isn't easy, but it's worth it. Based on my own experience, here are 13 things I think every new father needs to know.
1.Be your partner's rock.
2.Pick one task, and stick to it.
3.Have a pamper party.
4. Buy a push present for your partner.
push gifts should def be normalized… it might not be as extravagant as a new car for every couple but i don’t see why a man wouldn’t want to give his woman a bit of appreciation for risking her life to safely deliver his baby
A push present is a gift you give your partner after they give birth. It doesn't have to be anything fancy (but it also could be, if you're into that kind of thing). The gift could be a pendant with your newborn's name or birthdate, a new super comfy bathrobe for lounging, or a postpartum massage. The price doesn't matter, just be thoughtful. A logical present like a heating pad made especially for new moms to soothe those sore places can really go a long way.
5.Try the shift method instead of tackling everything together.
6.Keeping score is inevitable, but try not to bring it up.
7.Learn how everything works.
8.Try to work out.
9.Read books and studies.
10.Read your baby books.
11.It can be an overwhelming time for new dads, but your happiness and well-being matter. Take time for yourself.
