Ask When a Wife Is Breast Feeding |

By Don Adams |
Men: Most men have lots of questions when their wife breast feeds their new baby For the Male of Today: From CyberParent |
If you are like I was, you have a little twinge of jealousy from
time-to-time, followed by an instant feeling of guilt. Yet dads do have a point of view
here. And questions. Dads have lots of questions. What are some of the most asked questions?
No. She will learn to cover up and still nurse little Patrick or Patti. You will see nothing and neither will anyone else. From time-time-time, she may ask you to block the view of others while she gets everything arranged. Stick out that gut of yours and do your duty. Scowl at anyone who appears to show undue interest, of course. Will my daughter/son be completely spoiled by so much attention? Well, your little darling might turn out to be the most spoiled child in history, but it won't have anything to do with breast feeding. Will I ever be able to feed the baby? Not right away. Your wife is establishing her milk supply and learning how. Your time will come. In the meantime, you can get the baby, change the diaper, and bring to mom so mom can remain in a twilight sleep. Again, your time will come. |

Will we ever have time together again while she
breast feeds?
It will never be like it was BB--before baby. Well, maybe when baby leaves home but I don't know about that yet. However, it does get better. Don't forget to ask your wife out on a date periodically. That is your responsibility again. Plan some great nights out taking care to arrange a sitter who will make you both comfortable Why not just give the baby a bottle? Breast feeding is about the best thing you and your wife can do for your infant. When your wife goes back to work or wants some time alone, the bottle will come. And if it never does, well, that certainly won't hurt your baby. Just spend your time playing with and getting to know him/her. Bath, burp, and bounce. And diaper and cuddle and smile at your child a lot... What's in this breast feeding for me? A healthy son or daughter. A happy wife. A feeling that you as parents are doing the best thing possible for your newborn. There is probably nothing more beautiful and heart warming in the world than a mother nursing her baby. Enjoy it. be proud, and just remember: your time will come again! Do you have some feedback for new fathers? Share your experiences with CyberParent. Additional information about men and being male.
