paternity leave

I am back at work, and paternity leave ended for me. This is a little recap of what was going on and what I found out during my paternity leave. At the beginning it was fun. Being with the YD and just carry her around in my arms and forget about was work was me connecting with the little one. At least I thought I am connecting with her. As it turned out she wasn’t connecting with me but she just needed to be either changed because of the wet diapers or she needed me to help her with blurps....

To me it’s crystal clear to take paternity leave when a newborn arrives. I take full advantage of it and I think every dad should. To be honest I don’t get much love or anything out from our newborn daughter. Well, other than changing diapers and puke on my shirts. It’s not that bad either. I get to talk for a few minutes with her and watch her tiny head and ears and fingers and to hold her in my arms and comfort her when she has digestion problems....
