How's the daddy reacts on having a newborn at home.

My husband is excited to become a good daddy to my now 6-week baby, but doesn't really know how to bring out the appropriate motherly attitude to serve the infant better. This sperm contributor is repetitively fall in love with his product. Everytime when he comes back home from work in the evening, he will lie down next to the baby and admire her face and movement. Never get tired. However, his masculine voice is as loud as thunderstorm, even if he is whispering to me and the tiny human. It ended up that the love of my life always awakened our light sleeper child. Like most of the mothers in the world, would usually give angry stare at their husbands as it is in fact difficult to put baby to sleep. As I am doing the breastfeeding all the time, daddy has no chance to bond with baby during the feeding session. It ends up daddy's role is just to pass the baby to my arms whenever she cries. Other that that, daddy tends to ask on the comfort level that the baby has, as they

How's it like to become a parent.

It is indescribable joy when I had the bundle of joy in my arm immediately after 10 hours of labor pain. I couldn't believe that I actually made that tiny human being. The next 24-hour, I felt energetic to breastfeed the sleepy girl. The surge of energy continued for the first two weeks. I wanted to protect her from others which potentially posed hazards to her- to introduce bottle feeding and pacifier while combating the possibility of neonatal jaundice getting worse. The feeling of wanting to secure her had actually led to a thought to resign work so that I could give her the best care. But, I didn't do so... On the second month, whereby I was almost all by myself taking care of the infant as well as the house chores, I started to feel bored and insecure. I was looking at the main door and thinking when would I be able to step out from the house as freely as I was before. It will be dangerous and troublesome to bring infant who needs to be breastfed on demand outside

Working mother should bottlefeed their babies as early as possible.

I am done with my one- month confinement period which I fully breastfed baby. As I am going back to work in less than a month time, I really have to introduce bottle to my little one. However, after getting comfortable with my soft nipple and the warmth of the body, she certainly refusing to latch on the artificial nipple. She even spitted out my hard earned express milk!!! Even worse, she's crying as loud as she could to protest. Not even that, she tends to cry histerically at night (just to let her daddy knows that I'd bullied her during daytime). My concerns include whether my expressed milk supply will be adequate for her when I am away to work. And, will the future babysitter be able to bottlefeed her? I am also worried if she manages to bottlefeed her, how is she going to sleep without latching on nipples until she falls asleep as it usually happen while she is breastfed. Until the arrival of maid next week, I wouldnt know what will happen.
