5 important things new dads must know

The moment you both have been waiting for has arrived. Your baby is here and you couldn’t be happier. However, as an understanding husband you must know that the phase post pregnancy is just as crucial as pregnancy. Your wife, who has just delivered, needs to take good care of herself so she can nurse the baby. Being the doting hubby (and now dad) that you are, there are 5 things you must take utmost care of.

Resuming sex immediately may not be a good idea

She is still recovering and mentally and physically coming to terms with the fact that she is a mother now. Her health and baby are now her priorities. So she many not exactly be in the mood for sex. Give her some time.

Helping her out would be a good thing

Things were different when you were just the two of you. Now with the baby at home, she will need your help with household chores as well as baby tasks. She may have a nanny, her parents and her in-laws, but she will look forward to your help. It will help you bond with the baby as well.

Put up with her mood swings

Motherhood comes with its own set of hormonal changes and she may not be always in the best of moods. You have to be understanding enough and let her be.

Baby is her latest priority

You may no longer be the most important person for her. After all, now it’s your baby that will take up all her attention. But then, you wouldn’t mind that, would you?

It could be postpartum depression

Now this is something not everyone talks about. Dealing with this is not easy, neither for you nor for her. However, you must provide all the emotional support she needs. Don’t lose your cool. It may take time, but it will surely pass.
