Wife is in labour, and I'm doing some last minute studying! Can't wait to meet my little man!

[@retrox64games]

hey man i just had mine last month, any tips? haha

[@cuddledog142]

@@retrox64games honestly man my best advice would be support your partner the best you can, don’t set expectations for your baby, and just take things as they come. Super cliche advice but I don’t think there really are any tips or tricks. I have a happy healthy 17 month old now. Things definitely get more fun after about 10 months I would say too, so you can look forward to that!

[@retrox64games]

@@cuddledog142 awesome, really looking forward to playing sports and video games with him! Not cliche at all, well a little, but nonetheless helpful! thanks man appreciate it! :D

[@manuelfraustro984]

Thanks! My baby is almost 3-month old now and he still cries when I hold him. I will try some of the positions to see if that makes him feel more comfortable. It's very frustrating not be able to comfort him in my arms :(

[@DadUniversity]

Yes that can be frustrating. Just be sure to stick with it. It will get better.

[@Freighttrain27]

The reverse football hold was the most comfortable for me when my daughter was first born then I graduated to cradle

[@leunga]

Thanks for the video. New Dad for two days now. His grandparents are inexperience with babies so getting advice mainly online or through nhs websites. Been holding the baby in position one thus far but will try other to see if my son prefer others. Really loving the contents you share.

I will never know if this video is worth watching because the lead-up to any iota of helpful content it might have offered it squandered my patience assuring me that it was a man offering me advice.

[@sachinkayastha1121]

Anxious soon to be dad here. Would really appreciate if the video started from actually picking up the baby rather than already holding the baby in a video that is supposed to teach us how to hold the baby.😅

[@DadUniversity]

That is a very valid point. Thank you for the input. Maybe a video on How to pickup a baby?" and show the different safe ways of doing that?

[@stopminormutilation]

@@DadUniversityI’m a new Mom to a baby in NICU and he’s only 4 lbs 15oz and I am TERRIFIED of holding him and your video is genuinely the only one that has clear instructions that make me feel confident in holding him. I’ve held him a few times but I wanna know how FOR SURE to safely hold him. ❤ Thank you! Only wish it were a real baby so I could see!

I held a baby upside down ones😢 He was too heavy so i couldnt turn him back in place so i gently put him down on his head🥺

[@joelhochhalter638]

We were all babies once

[@PanosIliou]

Check out at 3:42 and 4:17 where for almost one second the head is not supported. On the first mark the baby is being turned by holding it at the waist and on the second one, the baby's head would clearly snapped backwards. I'm wondering how nobody in the comments section saw it. I mean no offense, but that's clearly bad handling.

[@DadUniversity]

Thank you for the feedback. While you are correct the baby's head should be supported, the purpose of the video was showing the holds, not necessarily the transition to the holds. If I do make another video about it I will be sure to be more careful

[@retrox64games]

just became a dad on jan 11th, still learning a lot, still a little intimidated of holding him, especially when his legs get folded up, i feel like i cant find that perfect position!
