Newborn Baby Only Bond With Their Mothers??
I have seen all newborns bond with their mothers, but the bonding doesn’t necessarily have to be only with their mom. As a dad, I have experienced this awesome feeling of bonding with my newborn and had a period when he was attached to me as much as he was to his mom.
My wife was recovering from surgery and I made sure that she got all the rest she deserved. During that time, I got opportunity to spend a lot of time with my little one and bond with him. Even though he spent most of the time sleeping, I was there addressing his every need when he was awake.
At one point, we thought that he was confusing me for this mom. As a new parent every experience was new for me, but I was slowly getting good at all of them. I was getting comfortable in feeding, burping and changing him. If you have a baby boy, then you must know about the challenge of changing his nappy.
There were times when he peed all over himself and sometimes all over me. The worst timing was after bathing. When we were dressing him, he would pee all over himself AGAIN. It was irritating at times but now I look back at those days and find it funny. It is now a beautiful memory and amazing part my life.
I tried to stay at home for as long as possible but had to return to work after 1 month. The first few days were extremely hard me. I simply couldn’t stop thinking about my wife and baby, hoping they were doing fine. At this stage, I was aware how hard it would be to take care of a newborn. I strongly believe dads should be equally involved in taking care of their newborn baby.
One day I got chance to witness this amazing moment. When I got home from work, my wife was saying something to the baby, and he seemed to be unhappy and staring at her. Then, he looked at me and gave me this funny look like the one we give to our friends when we find something funny. Even till this day, I think about that funny look he gave me. That was the moment that made me realize, how much I had bonded with my baby. I think about it quite a lot cause today he is pretty much a mama’s boy like most of the babies. But I have nothing to worry about as I had my moments with him, and they were beautiful.
