"But speaking generally, we know that consistent care-giving by one or two
people is the physiological, psychological and emotional norm for human
infants."
Agreed. I am wondering if once the shock wears off and Dad feels more in
control, he will want to be that one person and will not want to continue to
share his son with all these generous ladies. Or perhaps he will continue to
feel that this is the absolutely best thing he could ever do for his baby in
the absence of mom. Very interesting, though heartbreaking, situation.
