Helping your Hubby bond with your baby



When a woman is pregnant there is this automatic love or Storge love that we talked about earlier. It is the love that comes automatic for an expectant mom. This type of love doesn't come easier for men and here I will discuss a couple of things that a woman can do to help her husband start creating a bond with the unborn child.

Involve husband from he beginning of the pregnancy. Have him touch your belly and encourage him to talk to the baby as he touches the belly.
Appointments-Make sure that your husband goes to your Dr. Appointments or to parenting classes. The more he hears about the baby and is able to see the baby through the ultrasound the more likely it will seem real to him. For most men when they are able to hear the heart beat of the baby reality hits them.
Preparation-Let your husband help you in preparing for the baby by buying things the baby needs together, decorating the nursery, reading parenting books together.

FOR THE DELIVERY make sure your husband is the one at your side. Let him experience the special moment of you delivering your baby with him. This will bring a great bond between you, him and the baby. Teach him how he can help in the delivery and discuss what you would like him to do.
