For many men, nothing in their lives equals the thrill of watching their babies being born. Becoming a father is a big event. Being a father is something you can do every day. Showing your baby love and affection through holding, cuddling, playing, and diaper changing helps the baby feel secure and important to you.
Babies learn about the world through their senses.
The sense of touch is probably the most developed sense that babies have. Holding your baby gently but firmly helps them feel secure. You may worry that the baby is fragile, or that you will drop them. Do not let your fears keep you from enjoying your baby. Close contact with your baby lets them know and trust you.
