I have full confidence my husband is going to be such a great Dad. He is so excited to meet our son. I can't wait to see the two of them together! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-100-confidence-in-your-so-to-care-for-your-lo-alone#post-451763 Mon, 17 Dec 2012 13:31:15 +0000 daniellemybelle 451763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have a LO yet, but DH is such a natural caregiver when it comes to the practical stuff, that I think he will be totally fine - maybe better than me in some ways. Last night, our dog was throwing up and had diarrhea, and I slept through it while he took wonderful care of him! One of the reasons I'm excited to have a baby with him is because I know he will be an amazing, very hands-on dad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-100-confidence-in-your-so-to-care-for-your-lo-alone#post-438940 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 09:45:07 +0000 stargal 438940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup there little buddies together. Dh is great with p. P is always cracking up when he is with him and dh knows how to take Care of him just as good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-100-confidence-in-your-so-to-care-for-your-lo-alone#post-438875 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 08:38:11 +0000 mrsjyw 438875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. Pumped bottle and we are good to go!! He's greaat w LO </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-100-confidence-in-your-so-to-care-for-your-lo-alone#post-438866 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 08:25:51 +0000 Irishmom 438866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I am very lucky! My husband is wonderful with our daughter! The house may not be as clean as when I left, but the important thing is the baby is always happy and well cared for when I get home :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-100-confidence-in-your-so-to-care-for-your-lo-alone#post-438833 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 07:12:35 +0000 yellowbird 438833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh I definitely do. He stayed home with her for a month after I had to go back to work. He doesn't do everything the way I would, but he has his own way and it works! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-100-confidence-in-your-so-to-care-for-your-lo-alone#post-438828 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 06:51:50 +0000 eeh 438828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 100% confidence in him but I think he lacks it in himself. He likely would dress her at al because he hate doing that and thinks he's going to hurt her. We don't have a strict schedule and I don't really care if my baby cries for a few minutes if we're busy so it wouldn't bother me if he let her cry. We have a VERY easy going baby so as long as she's fed, she's fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-100-confidence-in-your-so-to-care-for-your-lo-alone#post-438823 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 06:39:23 +0000 SugarplumsMom 438823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. If I suddenly died tomorrow, he'd have a hard time. Last night I let him put LO to bed and she was crying in his arms for I don't even wanna know how long. Often when he holds her, he's trying to multi-task and doesn't really pay attention to her, which gets her cranky. When he feeds her in bed, he falls asleep and the bottle ends up on her cheek. </p> <p>I'm sure he'll eventually learn in time, but right now, no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-100-confidence-in-your-so-to-care-for-your-lo-alone#post-438821 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 06:31:53 +0000 Pink Champagne 438821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH has the baby every day from about 12:30-6:30 when I get home from work. He's a great dad, even though he is not the best at picking out matching outfits for LO! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-100-confidence-in-your-so-to-care-for-your-lo-alone#post-438780 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 01:52:25 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 438780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The toddler no worries, the baby is more of an issue as she nurses :) He can handle them both until she gets hungry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-100-confidence-in-your-so-to-care-for-your-lo-alone#post-438720 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 23:30:11 +0000 littlek 438720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH passed this with flying colors this week! I'm on work trip and DH did a great job with LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-100-confidence-in-your-so-to-care-for-your-lo-alone#post-438669 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 21:55:41 +0000 Mrs. Pen 438669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! He can totally care for him 100% as well, if not better, than I can. As long as he has pumped milk I have no worries whatsoever. He is so respectful of his schedule as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-100-confidence-in-your-so-to-care-for-your-lo-alone#post-438653 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 21:44:33 +0000 Mrs. Bee 438653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>he'd take care of charlie no problem. olive is not a bottle fan so he'd have a harder time with her, but he'd be fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-100-confidence-in-your-so-to-care-for-your-lo-alone#post-438649 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 21:43:15 +0000 Andrea 438649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! And it is important to empower your SO, as you said. If you're nervous, then you make him nervous as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-100-confidence-in-your-so-to-care-for-your-lo-alone#post-438647 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 21:41:16 +0000 sorrycharlie 438647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: OMG! lol. she probably would have killed for a hidden camera! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-100-confidence-in-your-so-to-care-for-your-lo-alone#post-438644 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 21:39:08 +0000 sera_87 438644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>considering i'm currently sick &amp; left him with DH practically all day while I slept, definitely. there's a few things he doesn't get (ie, he left him in his exosaucer waaaay too long) and doesn't know his schedule quite as well as I do, but that's totally minor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-100-confidence-in-your-so-to-care-for-your-lo-alone#post-438642 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 21:36:17 +0000 prettylizy 438642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep- he is amazing with LO and could care for her 100% of the time if I wasn't around. He's such a good daddy </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-100-confidence-in-your-so-to-care-for-your-lo-alone#post-438641 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 21:33:47 +0000 Freckles 438641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He is great with her. He just doesnt know her schedule well enough, and usually tskes direction from me. But i would be good leaving her alone with him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-100-confidence-in-your-so-to-care-for-your-lo-alone#post-438495 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 19:18:06 +0000 sarac 438495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, wacky outfits and messes left would be my only concern. As far as taking care of her, he's perfect. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-100-confidence-in-your-so-to-care-for-your-lo-alone#post-438483 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 19:06:48 +0000 runsyellowlites 438483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: Well after reading about what one of the mommas from my April group awoke to after her hubby let her sleep &amp; took care of the kiddos I thought I had to add that.</p> <p>Here's her "husband adventure"</p> <p>She left the mess for him to clean up too... Bahahahaha!!!!</p> <p>[attach=1400/12/meoqzd.463x600.image.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-100-confidence-in-your-so-to-care-for-your-lo-alone#post-438482 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 19:06:15 +0000 hilsy85 438482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the most part yes. I think he might not check his diaper as often as I would and might dress him in funny clothes but he is great with LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-100-confidence-in-your-so-to-care-for-your-lo-alone#post-438444 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 18:32:22 +0000 MamaMoose 438444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: hahaha quite the bonus! I do think hubs would probably leave a trail of destruction if he was home with LO for an extended period! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-100-confidence-in-your-so-to-care-for-your-lo-alone#post-438428 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 18:21:28 +0000 runsyellowlites 438428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH stays with the kiddos for me to run errands quite often. He's great with them.... AND doesn't wreck the house while doing so! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-100-confidence-in-your-so-to-care-for-your-lo-alone#post-438385 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 17:44:45 +0000 heffalump 438385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, he watches her a lot. My problem is more that I miss her too much so I don't like to leave her, not that dh can't handle it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-100-confidence-in-your-so-to-care-for-your-lo-alone#post-438376 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 17:38:45 +0000 meredithNYC 438376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely! He's great with her and I'm really lucky that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-100-confidence-in-your-so-to-care-for-your-lo-alone#post-438346 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 17:24:58 +0000 Weagle 438346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but he's not 100% confident in himself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-100-confidence-in-your-so-to-care-for-your-lo-alone#post-438345 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 17:24:51 +0000 autumnlove 438345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He might pick out weird clothing items but he is soooo good with LO! No concerns! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-100-confidence-in-your-so-to-care-for-your-lo-alone#post-438343 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 17:23:52 +0000 Mrs. Train 438343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have doubt my husband can care for all of my children. I just feel sorry for him because I know how much work it is. I know I am used o the daily grind of four kids and he is not. So my mommy guilt doesn't really stem from thinking my kids are not being cared for its more so just worrying about my husbands sanity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-100-confidence-in-your-so-to-care-for-your-lo-alone#post-438335 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 17:21:51 +0000 banana 438335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 100% confident that my DH could take care of my son by himself (my son' is 2.5 yo). But my DD, I'm a little more hesitant. She's only 4 months old and he hasn't had enough experience with her to "know" her. So he wouldn't know how to soothe her if she went hysterical. And that would stress him out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-100-confidence-in-your-so-to-care-for-your-lo-alone#post-438332 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 17:20:08 +0000 mlm2934 438332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have a LO, but I feel like I would trust my husband more than myself! :) or at least be so happy for me time that I wouldn't be worried haha </p>
