The bond between parents and babies is an important part of that. This means daddy needs to help moms take care of and nurture your baby from the very beginning. Babies are smarter when they are cared for by their fathers.
Weeks, even months after the baby is born, couples have little time to spend with each other. Newborn babies have so many needs, so mothers have to give their all to the baby. Fatigue and lack of sleep are inevitable.
However, from a psychological perspective, couples need to maintain their relationship, never neglect their partner during this time.
Two famous psychologists, Dr. John and Julie Gottman at the Gottman Institute have discovered that the best gift for your baby is family happiness.
Play with father and child to develop more comprehensively
Research has shown that children will have a positive emotional, social and intellectual impact if they are cared for by both parents.
Children interested in fathers showed higher emotional intelligence and academic achievement in primary school as well as higher levels of understanding and empathy with others as adults.
Science also shows that playing with children is an important part of raising a child.
For example, fathers' irregular play styles have been shown to help babies develop self-control. The fun of this game also makes it easy for young children to be recognized by their friends and can integrate with the community more smoothly.
In addition, fathers who are skilled at playing infant-style games (like peek-a-boo) will help their children make remarkable progress in the future.
A warm father is the opposite of cold and domineering. This makes sense right from when the baby is still in the womb. Mothers will be happier with an equal home life and a loving husband.
Babies are smarter when they play with their fathers
What should daddy do to make babies smarter?
Hold the baby, burp the baby after the baby is fed by the mother
Change baby diapers
If your baby breastfed, hold the baby close to her at night so she doesn't have to wake up. This makes sense even if I'm only working for a few hours or on weekends. And if possible, daddy lull the baby back to sleep after the mother finishes feeding him at night
If your baby is bottle-fed, feed him late before going to bed (ie around 9-10 pm) so she can sleep a little. Dad can change mother to bottle-feed at night or early morning
If you and your wife have other children, take them out to play so mom can rest
Take your baby out for a walk after eating so she can sleep a little
Massage for mothers because after giving birth, the body can easily ache
In charge of preparing meals and cooking for the family. Cleaning the table, making dishes. Ask older children to help with age-appropriate chores
Do shopping or order food online
Helps to pack “diapers” bags, including wipes, nappies, clothing, nipples, lining etc.
Bathe your baby
Car fuel filling
Dress up your baby
Do some chores in the morning like vacuuming quickly or cleaning household appliances
Play with your baby
Babies are smarter if they get more nurturing care from their fathers
Note for moms!
Having a father who takes care of children is a wonderful thing. However, it is worth mentioning that many fathers in this situation felt that their help was not up to his wife's standards. And sometimes the good intentions of fathers get harshly criticized.
Moms relax and lower your standards. Let fathers have autonomy in caring for their children.
In addition to participating in child care, there are other ways to maintain the relationship of a husband and wife after giving birth.

How to maintain the relationship after having a baby?
Obviously, sex is a great way for couples to stay connected, although not every mother is immediately ready for it after birth.
If you are not ready for sex, here are some ways to warm up between you two:
Hold hands
Give each other a passionate kiss every day
Gently caress your face and say words of love to your spouse
Maintain warm hugs
Talk about sex and what to expect when you're both ready.
For moms, in case you don't want sex, tell your husband about how you feel and that you're still attracted to him. Take the time to explain why sex is not an option right now.
For fathers, try cooking a meal, setting the table, lighting a few candles and enjoying a romantic dinner with your wife while your baby sleeps.
