Big changes for mum but also big changes for dad! Post birth dad becomes more responsible for day-to-day chores while mum nurses. Some of the best ways to build a bond with baby is to take part in the every day chores. I can hear you saying “What? Cooking, dishes and laundry aren’t enough?” Those peripheral things are important and necessary but the simple act of bathing the baby everyday will build a closer and more primary bond. The bond of touch, we all need it and will fail to thrive without it.
