Daddy Hold Your Babies

QUIZ: Why should dad hold his baby skin-to-skin?

1. Only the mom should do that
2. That’s gross
3. It confers lifelong immunity and child health
4. Not good - unhealthy to get his germs
5. I don’t want the no-good baby daddy around

Skin to skin contact at the moment of birth – daddies are critical! - improves the child’s long term health and BRAIN DEVELOPMENT. It’s called epigenetics. DNA passes through the skin while stimulating healing hormones in the child.

Epigenetics also teaches us AMAZINGLY that what the child absorbs from early embrace is passed on to that child’s own children and affects the DNA of future generations. Your DNA is not hard-wired destiny! 20 years ago, this concept was crazy talk. Now, it’s basic good parenting.

Answer: #3 - It confers lifelong immunity and child health
 

Right on! Absolutely!

My answer is number 3, it is just the God's given NORMALITY for children to be hold by their Fathers. We appeal to our Creator with the words OUR FATHER! or MY FATHER! So how we can diminish the love between Father and his kid? The sensitivity and love starts in the womb of Mother, but children need their fathers to maintain their behavior health and wholesomeness.

So cool. No idea how this is proven, but amazing to hear. How long do the parents have? Is it a short window or days/weeks? Fascinating.

I've known that skin to skin contact is very important when it comes to soothing and comfort, but wasn't aware of the DNA impact. Very interesting!

I agree with number 3 It confers lifelong immunity and child health
