  • Five Ways to Bond With Your Baby Before Birth

    During the first trimester the only thing you may be bonded with is the toilet bowl. Once you begin to feel your baby move or kick it may be easier to develop a connection. Here are a few fun and easy ways to begin a relationship with your growing baby:

  • Bonding with Your Baby in Utero

    It's very rare to hear a man talk about how he bonded with his baby whilst it was still in the womb. For that matter I think the majority of men don't feel a strong bond with their baby for several weeks or even months. Why is this the case? What can we do about it?

  • 100 Promises to My Baby

    When I found out that I was pregnant several years ago, it was one of the happiest and most exciting moments of my life. I was awed by the fact that I had a living being growing inside of me. I spent hours visualizing what my baby would look like, talking and singing to her, caressing her, and beginning to plan for our new family.

    QUESTION

    Dear Mr. Dad,

    I used to be the center of my wife's universe. Now that we've had a baby, I'm jealous of all the time they spend together and I feel left out. Is this normal and how can I overcome my feelings?

  • Sandy's Surprise -- I Want to Say "He" or "She!"

    I really, really want to know what I'm having! I want to be able to say he/she instead of "it" all the time! I want to go shopping and be able to call the baby by name! I probably sound like a big whiner, but I really feel like all of the above will help me bond to the baby more.

  • Sandy's Surprise -- I Can't Wait

    I just want to hold him and cuddle him and kiss him and smell him. I bet he's the cutest thing! He's been so active lately, it makes me want to reach in there and tickle his little belly! October can't get here fast enough!

  • Sandy's Surprise -- Impatient to Hold Him!

    And I just got this huge ache for my own baby boy. I wanted to hold him so bad! I am just so done with being pregnant, I want October to be here! I am ready for that next step! I know I'll miss certain aspects of being pregnant and my pre-child life, but we are so ready to be parents already.

  • Why Attachment Parenting is Best for Your Baby

    The basic idea is simple and intuitively obvious. To survive, human babies need parents to keep them from harm's way for many years, and to teach them survival skills. So all humans are born seeking close attachments. That's why newborns hang on to your finger and babies cry to be picked up.

  • Can Fear Prevent Bonding With Baby?

    Mental illness runs in my husband's family. Even though I am exceedingly happy to be pregnant, I'm afraid this risk will prevent me from bonding with my baby. As she gets older, I feel like I'll always be searching for clues or telltale behavior of mental illness.

  • Sandy's Surprise -- Little Stirrings of Love

    So far, the love I have for this baby can be equated to the love I would feel, say, for a cute, puffy, bunny rabbit that might come to our house to visit on a regular basis. I am very attached to him, and I want him to get strong and healthy...
