Building a Team Approach to Parenting

Creating a team approach to parenting is crucial for new dads, as it can be challenging to find their place in the early stages. By establishing a warm, connected relationship with their partner and actively participating in shared responsibilities, dads can play a significant role in their child's development. This includes taking on tasks such as nighttime feedings and finding unique ways to bond with their children.
