Some fathers take time to become comfortable with their new roles.
But from the moment we decided to become parents, my husband has been a wonderful and supportive father. Eric not only nurtured me personally during my pregnancy but also attended infant care classes and read books about babies with me. There was never any question that I would have his full support for breastfeeding our daughter. Eric held my hand and rubbed my back throughout my labor. When it was determined that I needed a cesarean, he was there in the operating room and held Fiona while they closed my incision.
