How can I help


No one issues you with an instruction manual with a baby instead you need to learn how to cope with their practical needs as you go along. We hope that dad's will use this section to share their experiences of the day to day practicalities of caring for a baby.

Please share your experiences with other dads by emailing: contributions@forparentsbyparents.co.uk.

 

"To be honest when Sarah was born it was all a bit of a letdown. She didn't do anything except take up all my wife's time. There was no response at all and I found her quite boring. As my wife breastfed I didn't think that there was much I could do in the early days. Now she is a toddler I really enjoy playing with her. She's a good laugh'"

"I know a lot of men that got up in the night in the early days to help with the feeding. Breast feeding sort of excluded me from this, but to be honest, with work the next day, I'm not sure I could have helped anyway"

"I think that I help most when I play with my son. Also, I know my wife appreciates when I ask her about her day. She feels it can be a bit trivial and misses work, but I know that if I show an interest then it makes it easier for her to do what she has to do. Also acknowledging that I probably couldn't do what she does helps"

Toilet Training Help
Hi Everyone,

I have a 2 and a half yr old little girl who absolutely hates using a potty but will use the toilet to have a wee, the problem I have is that she will not use the toilet to have a poo she would rather go off and hide then tell me that she has done it.

Please could someone be good enough to give me some advice as to how to overcome this problem, I would be so grateful for any help and advice available.
