For the Fathers- You and Your baby

Once your baby is welcomed into this world, bonding with him/her becomes very essential. No doubt, a baby easily connects himself/herself with the mother on her first touch. But for dads, it is a crucial task! If you think it does not really matter, sooner or later, u will realize how important it is to have a bonding with your baby. As soon as you become a dad, you will feel an urgency to make sure that you baby will have that smile whenever he/she looks at you.

Why bonding with your baby?

It is a process that develops with an interval of time. It does not build in a snap! It is formed and grows with many tender moments that you share with your baby. Like the way he/she smile when you make faces, clasps your finger when you try to feel the touch of her/his tiny hands and many such tender moments that you experience for the first time. Bonding has its own pace but it picks up the pace with certain activities and moments you share with your baby.

Baby- father bonding

Father and mother have their different and specific way of bonding. Since the nurturing of the baby is a prime task of mother as she holds major activities of the baby, dads usually take a back seat when it comes to baby. So it is very important for them to build a tender relation with their toddler whom they have waited for.

Except breast feeding, a father can easily perform every task to bring up a baby. The way your baby lay her/his head on your chest while trying to sleep, gives you and him/her a warm connection that just starts to develop. Fathers do have their own different way of holding, playing, feeding and caring for the baby. Their way of concern also tends to get differ from the perception of a mother. Holding of a mother sounds rather soft and gentle with caressing the baby while father’s way of holding may sound a little unpleasant or abrupt as his main concern lingers that a baby should not cry on his arms.

But as a matter of fact, father tends to have more concern and deeper connections with their babies. Even as the child grows up, they build better relation with their fathers as compared to mothers. Like any other relation, bonding involves the essence of trust and security that a child feels whenever he/she found himself/herself near you. It is ‘your’ affection and care that brings a chord of attachment between you and your child. There is no formula or technique to build a bond with your baby instantly and intensely.

So do not hesitate and show the world that your care for your little toddler!
