Hey there I am new to being a dad as of one week!!!

Well at this very moment I have had no bonding time with my son. In his 6 days of being here I have held him lets say I can count on one hand the times. My wife is breats feeding and they bond that way and she is on leave as well. My wife is a wonderful mother. I would not dare ask her to stop breast feeding and switch to a bottle. My concern is that at this moment I have not bonded. I have read many articles on line that say that diaper changing is a good way to bond, but my problem is that the only time that I have picked my son up is to change him and once he is changed she takes him away immediately. Its like I am not fit and he is not part of me too. This makes me feel as if I have no place or role.

One Sad Dad…

Hi goku firstly congratulations!
Secondly I am sorry to hear you feel left out. Maybe you could do some skin to skin contact after he has been breastfed? Just let him lie on your chest so he gets used to your touch and smell.
I suggest you speak to your wife about this – its important that your baby knows he has a dad too (although its totally understandable that your wife should feel protective towards him).
Good luck and let us know how you and baby get on.
Best
