The newborn stage is such a sweet and special season with many benefits, that can often be overlooked or forgotten about in exchange for pressure, stress, ‘getting it right’ and more. One thing that’s of utmost priority is to establish a rhythm where the attachment of the baby to both mom and dad is the highest value in that short season. Especially the dads reading this, remember doing nothing is exactly what you’re called to do with a newborn.

Literally, do nothing.

Just do that ‘nothing’ with the baby in your arms 😉 let the baby slow you down, put the phone away, and soak up as much time as possible with those special and sweet first months. It’s simply easier to let the mom take the bulk of the newborn work because of nursing, feeding, etc so actively plan to get more time with your newborn or set aside certain hours for dad time. To both parents though, what about you reading this? What would you say has been the single best tip with a newborn that’s help you build your family team?
