Struggling partner

Yeah we’ve had some chats about it and he’s going to mention how he’s feeling at babys next check up but I worry they will just push pills onto him , I’ll ask him to speak to his dad friends too thank you x

Maybe see if there are any dad only baby classes/sensory room sessions nearby. Sometimes they run them usually on Sunday’s, might be a good way for him to meet other dads going through the same thing xx

My Dadpad - it's an app created by dads for this reason. Definitely helped my partner x

My partner was the exact same, what worked for us was when I noticed his patience wearing thin which was quite often in the first few weeks I would ask him to sit baby down (not pass him to me as I felt like that would make him think only I can do this) but just to take a minute and we would positively speak about how to move forward and he would voice how he was feeling. Even if baby was crying we would still sit and do this and then move forward after and if he wanted to carry on with baby he could or if he wanted a break I was more than happy to step in. After about a week of this positive reinforcement he has bonded with our boy like u wouldn’t believe it’s amazing to see. I think dads take a little longer to feel that connection and that’s why sometimes they don’t have the patience that mummas do💗xx
