Mama did the work 🌿 Dad caught their baby
•Top FOUR benefits of Dads catching their babies:
🔆It fosters an immediate bond~
Catching their baby allows Dads to shift from an observer to an active participant in one of the most significant moments of their child’s life, often creating a powerful sense of connection from the beginning of baby’s life earth side.
🔆It builds confidence~
Many fathers describe feeling more capable and connected in their new role as Dad after catching their baby.
🔆It strengthens the family bond~
Sharing the birth experience in such an active way can deepen the partnership between Mom and Dad as they begin parenthood together.
🔆Microbiome seeding~
When Dad catches his baby and has immediate skin-to-skin contact (gloves off), the baby is exposed to Dad’s unique microbiome, which becomes part of the infant’s developing microbiome.
