Welcome Home!
THIS IS ADVICE FOR THE NEW DADDY O ....
Most couples are anxious and concerned right after they take the baby home. It takes about six weeks for most couples to feel better about having a baby.

Here are things you can do:

* Hug your partner a lot. Tell her she's doing a great job.
* Be patient with the baby and with your partner. This is new for all three of you and takes some getting used to.
* Ask friends and family members for help with cleaning up, grocery shopping and meals. This is not the time to be shy about asking for help. Everyone needs help with a new baby!
* Try to rest whenever you can.
* Help out with the baby during feeding time. If mom is breastfeeding, you can bring her the baby. Help them get comfortable.
* Help with other jobs too: change diapers, give baths, rock the baby, cuddle the baby, read to the baby and sing the baby to sleep. Most babies love to sleep on their dad's chest.
