If you have a concern about the health care of your baby, make an appointment and discuss it with the physician. Do not disregard the other parent's list of health procedures. Try to follow the infant's schedule. If he or she takes a morning nap and evening bath, try to keep this routine. Your former spouse will be upset, but the one you really hurt is your infant.
Every family is different.
For example, if a baby has older siblings, he or she may be able to be away from the mother sooner and for longer periods. The presence of brothers and sisters represents the security of the baby's world. The key to a good plan is to take into account all aspects of your family. There are parents who are able to communicate well and make frequent-contact plans work. These parents can talk on the phone, respect each other as parents, and do not fear each other.
