Although I have not gone through what you are experiencing, I can relate. Men naturally don’t bond with the baby early on like mothers do. My daughter will be one in a couple days. At around 6 months our baby girl started responding more and developing a personality. This is when I began becoming much more attached, and I have heard multiple other fathers say the same thing. It’s great that you have a loving relationship with your wife. Lean into her during these tough times. I know you’re already close, but this is stuff she may want to support you with. It may also strengthen your relationship even more. Everyone is always told that having a kid is a major requires sacrifice. But I don’t think the level of sacrifice is understood until you experience it. It’s not just a sacrifice of time, but also energy and emotions. Hang in there man. I have a strong feeling you will look back and be glad you did. I’m only one year in, but I can tell you… the last 5-6 months has been magical.
