Not only the mothers.

When my baby was eight months old, I started helping my wife to bath her. I never knew how to fix the diaper, happily my wife thought and I became perfect. I dressed up my daughter and she was always looking good and got used to me. Whenever she is set to take her bath she always wants me to that for her. The most amazing part whenever am not around she allows her mum. As fathers we shouldn't put all child care on mothers, we should be supportive and build a bond with our children at their very early stage.Babies are hyper sensitive. Some grown up children don't have cordial relationship with their dads but are more closer to mum, the non challant attitude of the dad at the earliest stage could be responsible for this. It very important to take this serious.

I think all dads should experience this. I think it's really good if parents share child care duties. It gives both a sense of appreciation of what each person has to do when one is not around. When my daughter was still a baby, I'd be the one to stay up at night because my husband had work in the morning. When he gets home and I needed some sleep or some alone time, he'd take care of our daughter. So it really helps if both parents are sharing the responsibility.
