Jason this is just so lovely. So honest and raw. And I actually have thought of that, how can you instantly be IN love with a little being that only sleeps and cries and poops? But after a couple of months she starts smiling a lot, making eye contact and building her personality. You are just awesome!
Oh my goodness I am sobbing! Such a beautiful video. So much respect for you and so lovely to hear a fathers side of having a child. It is not something you hear publicly and we should be made more aware of how fathers can feel too. Congratulations on having such a beautiful baby girl and I wish you and Sam all the best. ❤️
This is beautiful Jason. Well done for speaking about your struggle at the start as well. So often the focus is on the mum: how did she get on? Did she bond? But there's so little emphasis or help for fathers out there and it's so important that it's given awareness and understanding. Really glad to hear you're finding your feet - parenthood isn't textbook, you're both doing a wonderful job raising your beautiful girl 💛
Honesty is the most beautiful thing in the world when it provokes things like this! May many other fathers find a sense of understanding and acceptance in his video.
This is the brutal truth. Our daughter was born two months ago, and as her mother I felt an instant connection and bond to my daughter and just assumed that her dad would also feel this way. It was only last week when she started to smile properly at us that he said 'I feel like we've actually bonded and she likes me now'. I didn't realise before then that he felt that way and couldn't imagine how that must have felt. It just proofs that being a dad isn't easy and that the bond between a dad and daughter is a beautiful thing. I love this video! Indie is beautiful.
I study Communication Sciences & Disorders at university & we study communication from birth into adulthood. It is so common to not feel a connection with your baby until what is called the "social smile", after feeling like you're just doing everything for a child so it can survive. It's a smile that is brought upon a stimulus in the room or area, usually a face. Babies love to look at faces. As a child's vision improves & can see farther, the more stimulation they can see & along with it comes more smiling & engagement. Bonds with your baby only grow from here on out! People mistake having to be instantly bonded, but all you're really looking for is that little sign of basic communication from your little human to feel it's all really worth it. It's amazing what that little "social smile" can make parents feel.
I've never thought of this. That fathers don't feel the instant love. Sadly I don't think my biological father have ever felt any love towards me, even later on. He is a foreign man for me now. And I know I'm not the only one who has it like that. This little girl is a lucky daughter of an amazing mum and dad. You are together because you truly love each other and yes there are ups and downs but even though you are happy people and you know what way you want to raise her. You are already pretty good parents.
This video made me cry so much. Your honesty about bonding made me realize that my father never really bonded with me. Maybe he did but he never showed it. I'm 23 and it still affects me a lot. The way you look at her, the way you speak about her is so heartwarming and I'm sure she will always know how much you two love her.
Amazing. Its so fucking hard to tell someone some of the stuff you have said. I know this because am a mum of a four month old baby boy and felt the same way you explain. Now it kills me to think I ever felt that way! Well done!
