Always great when dads bond straight away with their babies.
My hubby bonded with both straight away and they’re very close with him which is so nice.

Great to see a Dad’s honest account of a personal struggle.

It’s definitely harder for dads to bond. They don’t have that instant connection from
Carrying them for 9 months and them Mum is breastfeeding which makes it harder for dad to bond too as there just isn’t as much time for them

So very true. Very touching

Think the difference with fathers and mothers is that mum has carried the baby for 9months in her womb and literally shared her blood through the cord, baby and mom were one and wired and responded to each other. Fathers do not have this and have to start bonding after birth

A good read and very honest.

Noone really talls about this and everyone thinks bonding is instant but its not always. And thats ok!!

It is hard for the partners, especially if mum breastfeeds because bub really does depend on her, perseverance really does pay off especially if mum is tired and stressed because dad/partner is usually a bit calmer and less stressed which helps bub calm better. Keep trying, keep snuggling keep loving, it will come

It’s so amazing to these stories of truth and reality. Shout out to Mums and Dads who are honest and open about their real battles with parenthood.

Glad he shared as I’m sure there are plenty of people who can relate and felt islated because they thought they were alone

We didnt have any issues bonding with our son, but it would be hard if that feeling wasnt there. Good on him for being open and honest

It can be hard at time bonding, I am glad that we can get a male’s view.

Yup, newborns are very hard!

It’s good to have an honest male opinion rather than just Mums.

I didn’t with either of my too, but my ex didn’t bond with our youngest and still hasn’t and he is 2 1/2
