How much time

Your feelings are valid! Can he maybe find ways to bond with the child as I'd be worried about that. Although many people may be the same as him, I'd expect him to be excited and keen - it's still early days! I'd be doing a plan if I had to if he's not conscious of the lack of time. Maybe he needs to do set nights to share the time with the baby too. Then if he didn't buck his ideas up - I know how I'd be feeling. Is he struggling with mental health - if so I'd suggest Andy's man club. If he's gaming or just lazing about, he needs to reflect on what's important. Your babies only little once!! Also is this his first child? Xx
Do you have dads matter groups near you? We saw this advertised in the hospital xx
Idk, if he's helping out in other ways I wouldn't stress. My husband was solely responsible for washing my pumping parts and doing the laundry which meant he wasn't always with the baby but it took such a huge stress off my plate that I didn't care. He still had plenty of bonding time.
Of course baby will bond to the one that's spending time It takes one step at a time to create the bond Hopefully he can see that and maybe he can take baby to library drop ins or something as a start
If he's home 24/7, I'd be expecting him to spend relatively equal time with her. How does he spend his time at home? How much time does he spend with her?
