We wouldn't say that. For example, some fathers spend almost no time playing with their babies. Research indicates that these infants would benefit from more stimulation and care from their fathers. Uninvolved fathers may believe that babies are women's business. Or maybe these men just don't know what to do with a baby.
Researchers believe babies benefit from having a close bond with more than one person.
No parent should think he or she must be with the baby all day, every day. This is hard on you, and may not be best for your baby. Your baby is growing into a toddler, and maybe you're thinking about having another child. When a child is less than 2 years older than the new baby, she often feels jealous. When a new baby arrives, suddenly your older child gets a lot less attention than she used to.
