Advice for daddies to develop closer bond with LO

Dear daddies, do you face difficulties bonding with your LO? What are some great tips you can share with other daddies? My husband is facing this issue and I would like to hear from the rest of you.

Thank you all. My husband fell sick with a cough for 6 weeks when my daughter was 3+/4mths old, after he recovered, she refused to let him carry her for longer than 5 mins. She’s now 9mths old and it’s still the same. What should he do?

Make sure the baby's usual carers, mother included, are not around. Your baby will struggle at first, but will probably adapt quickly and realise you are the only source of comfort present.

Participate in his/her activities as much as possible and also spend time with your LO.

Ask your husband to take on the mommy role except for breast feeding .
