Dads Get Real: The Most Surprising Thing About Fatherhood Is...

It’s almost Father’s Day and as we’re getting ready to celebrate dads, we decided to ask them a question: "What was the most surprising thing about fatherhood?" Some answers made us laugh and some made us swoon. Check out the answers here:

• “The uncanny ability of a young baby to poop immediately after a nappy change.” – Edwin P.
  
•  “All of a sudden developing ‘dad vision’ for all the things that could potentially harm or damage our new flesh ball.” – Stratton E.
  
•  "There is no comparing the all-consuming love you will have for your child with the love you have for any other person. Even the first moment I laid eyes on my daughter’s heartbeat on the ultrasound, I instantly fell in love with her. When she arrived and I held her for the very first time..... I broke down in tears.... holding her little hands as I smiled at her singing the same song I would sing to her in mommy’s belly…So my answer is love! I was surprised by how much I could love someone so much.”  Aaron L.
  
•  “How much more the baby wanted to be with whoever was primarily responsible for their food.” – Jon S.
  
•  “How incredibly fast our baby grows and develops. It seems like every day he’s changing!” – Zac I.
  
•  “Lack of sleep.” – Mark G.
  
•  “Most surprised that I don’t mind changing nappys at all, because it means more time with my little darling.” — @jschrein
  
•  “How much poop there is.” – Kevin M.

Es importante que, en preparación para la lactancia y durante la misma, las madres lleven una dieta saludable y equilibrada. La combinación de lactancia materna y alimentación con biberón en las primeras semanas de vida puede reducir la producción de leche materna y es difícil revertir la decisión de no amamantar. Si decide utilizar fórmula infantil, debe seguir las instrucciones cuidadosamente.
