Bunda Asa

A Special Word to Fathers

As a father, you have an important role to play in taking care of your
baby. Your baby needs you. And mom needs you to share many of the
responsibilities of taking care of your new baby. When you do things
with your baby, you and your baby get closer. You and your baby form
a bond that helps her feel safe and happy.
You may feel nervous around a newborn. Or you may be afraid to
touch your baby because you have never done it before. The best way
for you to get over the uneasiness is to hold your baby.
Here are some things you can do to be a part of your baby’s life. You
will find that the more you do with her, the more comfortable you will
be.
 Hold and cuddle your baby.
 Smile and laugh with your baby.
 Talk to your baby. Your baby will quickly learn your voice and know
that you are her daddy.
 Change your baby’s diapers.
 Cuddle with mom and your baby during breastfeeding.
 When mom’s breast milk or formula has been put in a bottle, you
can give your baby the bottle. Cuddle with and talk and sing to your
baby during bottle time.
 Take your baby for a walk. Babies love the sights and sounds of the
outdoors.
 Play with your baby.
