View submission: Another way longer paternity leaves help new parents
A pity they don’t elaborate on what ‘longer paternity leave’ means in terms of number of weeks. I took 9 weeks off when my first baby was born, it definitely gave me good experience of just how full-on caring for a newborn is.
One of the best things I did when I went back to work was commit to doing the evening bath and bed routine every weekday. It gave my wife a much-needed break and gave me some quality time with bub. But more importantly, it gave me a chance to become the expert in something (bath time) which gave me a lot of confidence as a new dad.
There's nothing here!
