Ok like feeding and changing his diaper? Lol I want to know what your interacts means
If I’m being honest he does a little of both- but I will say it’s something I’m working on is not to intervene and letting him figure out his own way of taking care of the baby and not stepping in when things aren’t being done “my way”.. once I started doing that I’ve noticed him problem solving and playing etc with the baby - hope this helps!!
def interacts. my husband is literally like the default parent. he jumps to care for our son before i can even think about what our son needs. and he’s been maternity leave going on his 3rd month and he’s been handling night shifts alone since we came home.
@Kidy no it really does! Doing things his way and having him learn is big! Knowing it won't ever look like mama's is something I always try to keep in mind
@Anitra that's awesome Anitra!
He does both!
He changes diapers burps feeds, talks to him, holds him… sometimes I do have to ask for help but he will do it if I ask..
For my partner it depends on his mood and how his day went. Some days I have to force our baby into his arms other days he is more open to spending time with our kiddo.
He interacts if he doesn't have to care for her :/
Not married, don’t live together…daddy sees baby for a couple hours most days after work/at least 1 day a weekend. He does diaper changes during that time, asks if he can feed him if baby is ok with it, talks, walks, settles…does everything baby will let him do. They are buddies already…even his ex wife will admit he was like this for their daughter almost 13 years ago as well. Hes very involved with his kiddos, no matter their age. He was the same with both of my boys (slightly younger than his daughter) when we were together as well. 💖
He interacts, he also watches her while I get out of the house to get things. He also absolutely loves playing with her
Interacts, my husband loves playing with my daughter as well as feeding, bathing and changing her as well.
Sigh..neither..we have gotten to a better place now where he will do a good job with her if I ask him to watch her but he never takes initiative.
Interacts more than me!

My boyfriends main goal is usually to get him to sleep as fast as possible, or sit him in front of SpongeBob. He's not a bad dad, but our son definitely prefers me so he's a LOT more fussy with him than he is with me. We just deal with him differently I guess, but yeah more watch than interact unfortunately.
He feeds them, diapers them, holds them, gets up in the middle of the night w them and gets our oldest ready in the morning, makes breakfast for her and takes and picks her up from daycare majority of the time. Basically does everything I do… as all dads should. If he hears baby crying he’ll go check on them before I can even get up lol he’s def a hands on dad…
@Abbi yea, that part. Deals differently. We would be wrong to force otherwise.
@Erica that's awesome!!
