Just by watching my husband playing with his nephews, I knew he is going to be a wonderful, caring and loving dad. When we found out that we are expecting, we were extremely happy and couldn't wait to meet our little daughter.
Since day one, my husband was very helpful and for the most part involved . We try to take turns when possible on who is feeding the baby or changing her diaper; especially during the weekend. Any way, i think that dads should be involved in their babies's lives because it is very important for them to bond and get to know each other.
Here is a very intersting article with instructions on how to get dads involved with baby care:

Feeding a newborn

When i was pregnant, many people asked me if I will breastfeed or bottle-feed my baby. The truth is that I wanted to breastfeed my daughter, because I knew how important it would be for her and me (go quickly back to wear my skinny jeans :))
Unfortunately, it was not the case. Right after I gave birth i was able to breasfeed , but 10 days after my delivery I had a major bleeding and I was hospitalized and giving a lot of blood and medications; which affected the quantity of the milk my body produces. Long story short, I decided to bottle -feed my newborn. Blieve me it was a hard decision to make, but it was a good one.
Here is a very intersting article that shades the light on both feeding methods. enjoy!!
