To my wonderful husband Zachary 🙂 My advice would be to never be afraid of the unknow lol. New babies come with a lot of unknow, but thats what makes it so special. Learning this helps you understand what make your baby unique. Like how they like to be held, or what makes them smile, what they like and don’t like. Dads are such an important role in their childrens lives. Dive in, enjoy the what ifs, and oh no’s. Don’t worry about doing it wrong, life’s to short for worry. Just be there and show them love.
May 28, 2014 @ 5:40 am
I think when a dad becomes a dad, he needs to know how much he truly is needed, even if he can’t help with things like the breastfeeding duties. I would give this awesome pack to my husband, Celestino Rodriguez, who will be celebrating his first Father’s Day with our one month old baby girl! He so deserves it!
May 28, 2014 @ 8:59 am
So much of what your child learns about affection comes from you, Daddy. Love her mother, show affection, gross out your kids by doing so as they get older. Hold your children’s hands as long as you can, and they will grow knowing that they are loved. This would be for my husband, Brice who will always be our daughter’s first Prince Charming.
May 28, 2014 @ 9:54 am
For Tim – we are only 20 months into our first and about to have our second. The biggest lesson we’ve learned is that we are both in this together and neither of us has it all figured out! We lean on each other for support and try to show our little one all the love we have for him.
May 28, 2014 @ 9:56 am
I think that dad’s should know how much kids love them! Some dads get discouraged when the baby is little and the mom soothes them best, but that doesn’t mean they don’t love you, just be patient.
I would give this to John, my surrogate daughter’s dad! He would love this!
May 28, 2014 @ 5:41 pm
To my husband Andy and that no matter the struggles we have had to become parents it is worth everything in the end to hold them in our arms and just be in the moment.
May 28, 2014 @ 5:48 pm
I’d give this to my husband, Daniel.
Dads need to know how the little things add up— take time for your babies while they are young. The small things– like digging for fishing worms, cutting up an apple, attending sporting events, making ice cream sundaes will matter the most.
May 29, 2014 @ 12:48 am
All the sleepiness nights and stressful times are all worth it when your child runs to the door screaming “daddy’s home!”
Make the time to be a huge part of their lives. It goes so fast and you’re one of their biggest role models.
My husband is an amazing father who loves all of us dearly.
May 29, 2014 @ 10:33 am
I would gift this to my husband. We are expecting our first baby in 5 weeks!
My advice to new dads would be to spend as much time with your baby as possible. They grow up faster than you can prepare yourself for and there is no one quite like Dad.
May 29, 2014 @ 12:37 pm
This is my husband’s first father’s day; I would love to give this to him. My advice to new dads would be to spend time each day with your little one, even as tired and stressed out as you are when you come home from work. 🙂
May 29, 2014 @ 1:02 pm
My advice to new dads would be to try to be understanding towards your wife/babies mother. Remember that you are both learning and may be both sleep deprived.
I would gift this to my daughters husband. They are expecting in a month!
May 29, 2014 @ 4:29 pm
Its really not as hard as you might think! Don’t be afraid to cuddle the baby. They will not break. 🙂 I would gift to my amazing hubby Tyler.
May 29, 2014 @ 4:29 pm
Paul. and they’re fast and sneaky and slippery when wet! and even though your baby may be big physically they’re still learning (more applicable around 18mo+)
May 29, 2014 @ 4:43 pm
don’t be afraid. Just get in their an do it. Your child is not as fragile as you would think.
May 29, 2014 @ 5:11 pm
It’s my husband’s (Mike) first father’s day and this would be a great gift for him. Advice for new Dad’s cuddle and talk to your new baby and don’t stress about not getting it or feeling comfortable right off the bat, it will with time.
May 29, 2014 @ 5:29 pm
My advice is to remember that you and your spouse are a team. She might act like super mom, but appreciates any help she can get. Also it is very important to bond with your baby.
May 29, 2014 @ 5:39 pm
I am pregnant with my first – so no advice yet for dads – but my husband needs lots (he’s never ever changed a diaper!)
May 29, 2014 @ 5:44 pm
I forgot to say I would give this to my amazing husband Marc. He is such a great dad to our son and we are expecting a daughter in August.
May 29, 2014 @ 8:46 pm
My advice is that stinky diapers don’t smell as bad after you get used to it. If you only change 2 a year it will seem like the worst thing ever, so change them often!
May 29, 2014 @ 8:47 pm
Oh, and I would give it to my husband. He’s great!
May 29, 2014 @ 9:39 pm
My advice is to take it moment and moment. Never take for granted what you have in front of you. Enjoy it even when it is tough for it is ALL WORTH IT! Never run!
May 29, 2014 @ 9:41 pm
how to hold a baby with out freaking out the first time, babies are not made of crystal and cannot be broken by holding them.
May 29, 2014 @ 10:31 pm
Do not be afraid to admit when you are wrong! Shows you are much stronger!
May 29, 2014 @ 10:49 pm
Always support your wife and take time to help out! (Janice Miller)
May 30, 2014 @ 9:06 am
Be the first man in their life to love and care for them and show them how to survive in this world.
May 30, 2014 @ 10:50 am
Just because your baby’s mom spends more time with the baby, it doesn’t mean your time isn’t important, too! I’d gift this to my husband, Nick.
May 30, 2014 @ 11:23 am
Let your wife take a nap once in awhile. This is the time you can bond with the baby with some skin to skin time. 🙂 I would gift this to my bff’s husband and they are expecting in Oct.
May 30, 2014 @ 11:50 am
They just need to know that they are a crucial support person in everything to do with the baby’s life. Tell mom she is doing a great job, and ask how you can be helpful 🙂
May 30, 2014 @ 12:03 pm
I’d give it to my husband, Adam. And the only advice I can give is to truly enjoy each moment and then try to have your own quirks or routines with your baby that don’t involve mom. It makes your bond even more special. 🙂
May 30, 2014 @ 12:56 pm
My husband and I are expecting our first. But I think the best tip he needs to know is that babies just want to be held and loved. They just want to feel close to you. This would be for my husband, Chris.
May 30, 2014 @ 2:00 pm
Support your spouse/significant other and follow your daddy instincts–you have them!
May 30, 2014 @ 4:51 pm
A tip for new dads is don’t worry, you won’t drop the baby 🙂 Enjoy every moment together and take lots of pictures too! Be there for mommy when she needs a break. The baby gear for these prize packages are awesome, if I win my husband Bob would be absolutely thrilled!
May 30, 2014 @ 5:29 pm
I’d gift this to my husband, a great daddy to our daughter and baby. Tip for new dads – cuddle your little one whenever you get a chance! This will give mom a little break, and provide a chance for you and your baby to get to know each other – your voice, smell, etc will create a lasting impression. Enjoy those cuddles! 🙂
May 30, 2014 @ 10:09 pm
I’d gift this to my husband, Tony. We’re expecting a first child and so we’re still so new to this whole parenting business. But the two things that I really would expect from him the most to love our child and do the best he can for both me and the baby.
May 31, 2014 @ 10:01 am
I would give this to my hubby Eric! He is an awesome father about to have our first boy and could really use these items! My biggest advice would be for the dad to just be there for the new mom, she needs so much love and support after bringing home a new baby and dad is just the one to give it! Also, if you are easily light headed like my man be sure to sit down when you first hold the baby 😉 there are several great items for new dads and the whole “I’m the Daddy” line of products is really fun!
May 31, 2014 @ 10:07 pm
Make sure to learn all you can and to help you wife with everything, even the housework.
May 31, 2014 @ 10:16 pm
My wonderful husband always took care of my twins during the nights that he was home so that I could get sleep. He is a firefighter and was working 24 hrs on/ 24 hrs off back then. When I worried that HE wasn’t getting enough rest, he always lied and insisted he slept more than enough on his shift. The boys are almost 21 now, and he still remembers that one-on-one time alone with them as being the most special. He had zero experience with babies and I think being alone with them (and not being told what was right or wrong to do!) forged a special bond that exists to this day. He did the same when my daughter arrived 3 yrs later. It was a win/win situation for all of us. 🙂 I would share these gifts with two new father’s-Kris and Sal.
May 31, 2014 @ 11:18 pm
I would give this to my husband, tim. i think new dads should remember to take care of mommy – giving birth is a life changing event (emotionally and physically) and mommies really need help with their recovery.
June 2, 2014 @ 8:42 am
I would say remember to ask to help, not wait to be asked. This would be for my hubby Jess
June 3, 2014 @ 12:37 am
New daddies need to not be afraid to love their family.
June 3, 2014 @ 1:49 pm
I would give this to my husband, Chris, who is going to finally be a Daddy in October. I think all new Daddy’s need to know, that their baby is not breakable. Do not be afraid to hold it 🙂
June 3, 2014 @ 1:54 pm
my husband was a natural! be patient with the new mama!!!
June 3, 2014 @ 1:59 pm
I would give it to my husband, Nathan, to celebrate his first Father’s Day!
My tip for new dads – be prepared for some unexplainable tears from the new mom…there is nothing to fix, just be a support and comfort to her
June 3, 2014 @ 2:05 pm
Dad would feel so proud to get his own set of gifts for baby
June 3, 2014 @ 2:25 pm
I would gift this to my husband, Matt. One of the biggest helps when we had a newborn was to hand the baby to me while I got ready to nurse. It sounds like such a small thing, but it was SUCH a big help to me! 🙂
June 3, 2014 @ 2:27 pm
My hubby Adam, and new Dads need to know to let Mom sleep when ever they can and that babies are much less breakable than you think!
June 3, 2014 @ 2:28 pm
This would be so fun to win! @jillyanrdn
June 3, 2014 @ 2:30 pm
This would be for the best day ever Jared. He has been such a great dad helping with everything.
June 3, 2014 @ 2:31 pm
Follow your instincts! These would be great gifts for my husband who will be celebrating his first Father’s Day!
June 3, 2014 @ 2:32 pm
My advice for new dads, This is the time to ask for extra support from family and friends willing to give it! This could be babysitting or just being on the other end of the phone when you need to let off steam.
If you live with your baby’s mum, make sure you take it in turns to see to the baby at night, so you both get some sleep and all the responsibility isn’t on one of you.
Be as hands-on as you can be – change nappies, read stories, play games – so you get to have that bonding time with your baby.
When the baby’s been settled for the night or taking a nap, is usually the time parents are rushing about trying to do all the cleaning up and getting things ready for the next day. Try to use some of this time to just be together doing the things you did when it was just the two of you – from watching TV to having a chat (or a moan…)
Even if you’re back at work, try to take on a share of the housework to give your partner a break.
The sooner you have a go at the everyday things – changing nappies, bathing, cuddling at ‘crying time’ – the less intimidating they will be. Know that your partner is new to this too – don’t assume she has all the answers.
Let your partner know that you want to share the responsibilities with her, to reassure her that you care.
Prioritize activities – if your baby is keeping you up all night, make sure you rest when you get a chance.
Take one step at a time – you can’t know everything and you won’t get everything right the first time. Being a new
June 3, 2014 @ 2:36 pm
They need support!
June 3, 2014 @ 2:43 pm
Love this giveaway! And my partner would love to receive any one of these gifts 🙂 I would simply say, follow your instincts!
June 3, 2014 @ 2:45 pm
What a great contest!
June 3, 2014 @ 3:13 pm
I would love to win for my husband. He has been the most supportive hubby and father!
June 3, 2014 @ 3:17 pm
My advice to a new daddy is this; find one thing you love to do with your baby (bath time, reading before bed, ect.) and try and do that daily with your little one, it not only gives mommy a much needed break even if it’s just a little bit but I promise she’ll LOVE watching you bond with your baby and LOVE the down time
June 3, 2014 @ 3:27 pm
I would gift it to my husband. Being a parent for the first time brings its share of joy and responsibilities and there is nothing more rewarding then to experience the birth of the child.
My advice to all dad is that – there will be ups and downs, you might make some mistakes but dont be afraid. As much as scary it sounds to take care of an infant, they will teach you alot of patience, sense of protectiveness, responsibilities and many more hidden skills that you never realized you had(Diaper Changing Skills , How to hold the baby,etc).Dont be afraid to make mistakes because we will learn how to be parents – No one is perfect!And remember Children have that ability to take the best out of you! Spend time with your wife and children because you will cherish them for the rest of your life. You cannot buy your child’s smile, you cannot buy the first time they try to cuddle and put their head on your shoulder (Alot of priceless moments) Be there for those moments! Take one step at a time – You will learn to do everything
Above all – Always remember that you are there as two people to take care of that bundle of joy! Share your thoughts and worries, Be there for your wife and she will always be there. All moms want from their husbands is that they hold their hands and say we are in this together! Be as supportive as you can because yes you will have people around you to take care but the support that a husband can give nobody else will be able to give that support and comfort!Parenting is sometimes overwhelming for both parents but by just being there for one another you can sail through it
June 3, 2014 @ 3:30 pm
my advice to new dads is that while things may be stressful at first (no sleep, readjusting schedules around the baby….) know that it does get easier and babies grow up fast and try to video as much as possible!
June 3, 2014 @ 3:43 pm
My advice would be to support eachother, learn together, trust your instinct, love unconditionally, spend as much time possible with your little one, every second counts (dishes and house cleaning can wait). And “very important” never turn your back to your little one when bathing them it really only takes a second for something tragic to happen. Same rule applies for pool, lake etc.
This is an amazing giveaway, I would be honored to win for my husband Mike!
June 3, 2014 @ 3:47 pm
I would gift this to my hubby, Amedeo. We are expecting our first so we are very new to to all the parenting stuff but I am loving reading everyone’s tips and advice 🙂
June 3, 2014 @ 3:54 pm
Gift some to my friend who just had a baby and some to my husband. Advice is to not be afraid to ask for help (friends, family), and to make sure dads help out the moms as much as possible!
June 3, 2014 @ 4:28 pm
What a fantastic giveaway!!! I think new dad’s just need to know that being a father will be their greatest accomplishment and proudest endeavor. I’d give the gifts to my husband, as we have nothing yet:)
June 3, 2014 @ 4:37 pm
Awesome prizes!
June 3, 2014 @ 4:38 pm
This would be an amazing package for my husband to win 🙂
June 3, 2014 @ 4:54 pm
Follow your instincts, you know more than you think! I’d gift it to Nathan
June 3, 2014 @ 5:07 pm
Be present in every moment, don’t be afraid to get in there and just do it… your partner will love you all the more for changing your first diaper and every diaper after that, giving her a chance to shower while you hold baby, watching you enjoy those precious first moments with your new little one. These gifts would totally be for my husband for our 2nd little one due in a couple of months!
June 3, 2014 @ 7:27 pm
Remember it will get easier somewhat. I would give this prize pack to my stay at home husband.
June 3, 2014 @ 7:40 pm
My advice is change as many diapers as possible, your wife will need time to recover and it’s one task you can take on with little training, allowing your partner a break. Do not be afraid to ask for help!! Have daddy and baby time, whatever it is (story time, bath time, feedings, ect.) find something that only you and baby do together. It will only intensify your bond. These gift would be for my amazing husband Dan!
June 3, 2014 @ 10:21 pm
I think they just need to relax and realize these little ones are not as fragile as they think they are!
June 3, 2014 @ 11:43 pm
My advice to new dads (and moms) is to take the help that is being offered. When in doubt, ask!!
June 3, 2014 @ 11:44 pm
I would gift it to my brother in law (and sister) for their baby
June 4, 2014 @ 2:18 am
Advice for people that know new dads is to praise them too for helping to take care of the baby, their wife etc. Let them know they are doing a good job. It is quite a lifestyle adjustment for the whole family to bring a newborn into the household and everyone needs encouragement and support. I would love to give this to my husband as he has helped me so much with our new baby boy. We both had to learn how to fit into our life again with a newborn. There were some struggles along the way but by working together, encouraging, supporting and helping each other it has brought us and our little family even closer together. So in love with my husband and new little boy.
June 4, 2014 @ 8:20 am
Yay. Please pick me. I really need it
June 4, 2014 @ 9:34 am
Remember to buckle up baby!
June 4, 2014 @ 9:46 am
My advice is to be a supportive partner to mom.
June 4, 2014 @ 2:12 pm
Be your woman’s biggest support, we need it now the most, offer to help, & do not be scared!
June 4, 2014 @ 5:37 pm
These are great products, is time to go shopping!
June 5, 2014 @ 4:05 pm
I think the best advice for a new dad is to do their best to help out and give mom a break. I would give this gift package to my husband.
June 5, 2014 @ 6:29 pm
DH would be so thrilled
June 6, 2014 @ 1:04 am
I think that new dads can feel really insecure. They shouldn’t! I would love to give this to my husband 🙂
June 6, 2014 @ 5:26 pm
I would love this for my husband andrew who just became a father for the 4th time. My best advice with multiple children is to get to know the differences with personalities right off the bat. Know that each child will need something different as far as care goes and to try new things if something is not working
June 6, 2014 @ 9:27 pm
my advice: you don’t have to have it all figured out. Just be yourself and love your best! I would gift my husband, Miles
June 8, 2014 @ 3:15 am
For new dads, help to change the baby’s diaper!
June 8, 2014 @ 9:00 pm
For the new dad, take the advice of the mommy when they leave you alone with baby. sometimes mom knows a little more in certain aspects so listen first instead of saying “I got it, I got it!” Plus it makes the mom feel a little more confident leaving the baby with dad.
June 9, 2014 @ 8:48 am
I suspect that my husband is going to struggle with saying NO to our children. Setting boundaries will make for happier kids. I would love to win this to take a little of the financial stress out of preparing for a baby.
