Babies are so adorable and sweet and yet so fragile. New daddies should take extra care in holding and cuddling these little ones. Reading books like a daddy guide to holding a newborn baby can help new fathers be comfortable with new babies. That would mean if the father is in bed or in a chair or a nursing rocker, he should always keep in mind that the head needs support. Hold your baby upright against your chest facing outwards. Wrap your arms around the child and gently kiss the baby and smell that fresh baby scent. Sleeping babies will also enjoy the closeness and security of the parents' voice. So it's good to talk to your baby while they sleep, or while they're falling asleep. Dad can also enjoy the sight of his baby smiling and giggling in his sleep. It is said to be one of the most beautiful sights and new dads should keep looking for this.
Newborns also love to hear singing, reading, or chanting while touching each of the child's toes. Changing the tone and volume of his voice will allow daddy to see how the baby appears alert and moves in sync with his speech. The child will eventually become familiar with dad's voice since newborns can recognize familiar voices and sounds. Baby will also tightly grasp offered fingers. So, bonding is developed through close skin and eye contact during the first weeks of life.
Crying is a baby's way of communicating. This means that something must be wrong or that something may be needed. Babies cry for a number of reasons and the most common reason is the need for a diaper change. Babies should never be left soaking in a dirty diaper for too long, especially if he or she is in daddy's arms. Needing a bottle is also a common reason for crying. So it is important for a new father to learn to support the child while supporting the baby's bottle. It is important to ensure that the bottle is at the proper angle for feeding the baby, and that the baby and the head are supported throughout the feeding.
There may be many reasons for a baby's discomfort, and while holding the baby, daddy will make sure that the child is comfortable.
Dad should be aware that while changing the diaper, the child can urinate again and the urine will be bursting out like a fountain and perhaps get you wet. So when you change the diaper, you have to do it quickly and be sure that you are quick enough to cover it if necessary. This can be frustrating, but new fathers must not forget that it's not the baby
