New Dad Anxiety: How to Cope?

I remember how nervous I was. Mom will be super out of it for a while. I changed diapers for first 3 days after getting home. I had never done it before. Once it’s your own child, it’s like God guides you. You lock eyes with your perfect angel and see that beauty and purity. Everything will be alright!

Good start already dad! Keep up the concern and love with all your heart. Make beautiful memories your kiddo will take into the future. You'll do great!👍

What everyone said. Also not a parent. You got this brother

Just be there, don't be afraid to show affection and speak in baby voice. Congrats 👍

disclaimer, i'm not a parent (sorry), though i would love to be someday. just wanted to leave a comment that you having that concern is evidence of enough self-awareness to do better than the person you fear becoming. parents aren't perfect, and that's okay. there's a bit of grace to be given in that you might stumble occasionally, but you are still trying so hard to be a good dad. that's more than what many of us could ask for out of our parents. keep this desire to always be better for your child and i'm sure you'll be a better and better parent every day. also, most importantly, congrats!!! that's such an exciting time for the two of you and i'm so happy for you. cheers! :)
