labor dads are funny


A couple weeks ago, I had to laugh. When I left my newly delivered mom and baby “skin to skin” everything was fine. I walked out of her room for ten minutes to catch upon some charting and empty my two hours of pushing bladder. When I came back to the labor room, I saw that the dad, had stripped down to only pants and had the baby skin to skin on his chest…his very hairy chest.

First of all, honestly, unless you’re Channing Tatum, we don’t really want to see that. Second, isn’t this a little overboard? There’s really nothing about a man’s bare chest that would interest a baby. Third, it's out of place. You are not a patient, keep your clothes on!!!
