  • Tips to Get Dad More Involved

    Dr. Will Courtenay shares eight tips with moms to encourage your partner to be more involved with the kids.

  • He Really Wanted a Boy

    QUESTION

    This question deals with gender disappointment.

    We just had our third girl. I knew during pregnancy that my husband really wanted a boy this time (as did I) but while I got over it, he still seems stuck on being disappointed.

    Any ideas on how to help him move past this? He’s a great dad to our other two -- but this time just seems more disconnected.

  • Husband Not Interested in Sex

    QUESTION

    Since having our baby 2 months ago, my husband is reluctant to have sex. I was ready and willing soon after the birth but thought for sure after we received an official "all's clear" from the doctor at my 6 week appointment that he would be more enthused.

    He talks a good game (flirting with me, etc.) but comes up with one excuse after another when we have time -- he's tired, the baby is going to wake soon, he's rushed (for work in the morning -- even though we’ve both woken early), we'll do it this weekend...

  • Husband is Scared of Our Newborn

    QUESTION

    My husband is scared of our newborn!

    Good grief! I cannot get him to hold the baby unless I go get her and bring her to him while he's sitting down first.

    Giving a bath, dressing, or even changing a diaper? OUT of the question. He's afraid he’ll hurt her even when I've offered to show him how multiple times.

    I want/need him to be a parent. If I wanted to be a single mom I could have been!
