Give them space but also end up doing family time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bonding-with-so-and-lo#post-1561088 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 18:49:37 +0000 Anagram 1561088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I let them do their thing unless they are laughing a lot, and then I have to get in on it, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bonding-with-so-and-lo#post-1561079 Thu, 10 Apr 2014 18:47:06 +0000 MummaColston 1561079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A bit of both. I like Daddy to be the main focus but I think seeing us together is important too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bonding-with-so-and-lo#post-1434895 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 19:57:43 +0000 MrsStar 1434895@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say a mixture of both, I try to engage them in an activity - it's usually while I'm trying to cook dinner and lo just wants me to hold her so I try to distract both of them by getting them to do an activity together eg. coloring or something. At other times I just let them do their thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bonding-with-so-and-lo#post-1434883 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 19:49:55 +0000 mrsbookworm 1434883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A little of both. SO usually gets up with him on the weekend and I use that time to sleep. If we're all just hanging out together though, I'll still engage LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bonding-with-so-and-lo#post-1434877 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 19:46:08 +0000 Ash 1434877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I let them do their thing. :)</p> <p>Eta: I use this time to shower, cook dinner, nap etc... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bonding-with-so-and-lo#post-1434856 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 19:40:46 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1434856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like to mix it up but in the early months I think it's especially important to give them space because its so much mommys starring role and daddy needs all the chances he can get. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bonding-with-so-and-lo#post-1434843 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 19:35:50 +0000 MrsH 1434843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When your SO is hanging with LO/taking care of LO do you engage them or just let them have their space? </p>
