Hi everyone, Tonight's posts brought a couple of threads together for
me and I'd like to hear about the thoughts/experiences of others along
these lines. I've encountered a lot of fathers who feel strongly that
involvement with baby=feeding baby a bottle and as we discuss the
"other" kinds of involvement there is often some laughter, then
serious interest in getting in the bathtub with the baby. One father
(from a strong abm family background) recently spoke eloquently about
how wonderful and fulfilling he found the times in the tub with his
baby and how he found his "jealous" feelings regarding his partner's
relationship with their baby melting away.Was this a sort of
rebirthing experience I wonder? Linda Russell Dunn would you like to
comment??
