Heads up, dads-to-be: This self-proclaimed “dad-vocate” offers some awesome tips.
Los Angeles-based dad Muhammed Nitoto is telling it like it is when it comes to having a new baby, and he has a lot to say about what fathers could be doing to help, especially if Mom is breastfeeding.
In one of many Instagram posts about life as a dad, Nitoto talks about what it’s like the first few weeks and months after a child is born. Particularly if the mothers are nursing, “at times you’ll wonder ‘what is there for me to do?’” he says. Well,• When Mom wakes up for night feedings, get up and ask if she needs help or something to drink. “The truth is most of the time she will say no,” he admits, “but just the fact that you offered will go far.
• Ask her if she can pump, and then offer to feed the baby yourself—and choose at least one feeding that you can always do. Nitoto says this is a great way to help her get some real rest without worrying about the baby. • Don’t put a time limit on how long breastfeeding should last! He compassionately acknowledges that it’s different for everyone.• Take paternity leave if you can. “The early stages of a child’s life are not just for moms to enjoy,” he says, adding, “you can always make money but there are no instant replays in life. It doesn’t make you more of a man to not take the leave.
