Dad Tips #2: It is okay for it to take a while to bond with a new baby

I think early on, when the baby's really young, like in the newborn stage especially, it can be really difficult for us to feel attached to that little baby. Not that we don't love the baby, we obviously do, but it's hard for us to feel that love for the baby, because really, the baby can't show or can't reciprocate any kind of affection to us

In this episode, we discuss the common challenge of not feeling bonded to the baby early on.

Hey. Even though I'm not a parent, and if I were a parent, I would I wouldn't be a dad. It's so interesting to hear these tips and this and this series because it's really nice to hear the perspective of what that might be for a dad. I don't know

Hey, Richard, thanks for this tip, man. I'm going to go back and listen to some of the others in this series. It's pretty interesting. I want to echo what Rose said. I would not have thought that. And obviously I'm not a dad at this point in my life yet, although I'm really excited to be soon
