How Does Having a Baby Affect You

Women and babies.Why don’t men understand the connection?

What’s the big deal?

  • As men, not only don’t we understand women’s fascination with newborns, and we struggle to comprehend women’s need for babies.
  • Having a baby is starting a family, and the baby becomes part of both a woman and man. Women, sometimes, beg their men to have babies, the need can be strong, part of the ‘maternal’ instinct, that we as men, don’t always understand.

Babies.The big question mark on Women’s minds.

  • As men we love playing with our toys.Like buying a motorbike or fast cars, for the thrill of it.We also like going out with our male friends, spend money on beers and alcohol.We go home and  the  first question the woman asks is: Are we going to have a baby?. So, what’s our reaction to the question? Do we go along, or think about it? Ultimately, you have to be happy with your decision.

Babies and commitment.Babies need a LOT OF CARE.That means, you have to be committed.You have to:

  • Feed it. Special food, baby doesn’t have teeth.
  • Change nappies everyday.
  • Wash. Have baths.
  • Talk to the baby.
  • Dress with clothes.
  • Go for walks with the baby in the Pram.
  • Entertainment. Toys, you need to buy them.

A Baby is part of ourselves, are delicate and need care from us.

  • Be prepared to get out of your comfort zone.
  • Wake up several times in the night, as the baby cries and needs attention.
  • Tantrums. —–>> Lots of it. The baby loves to cry.That’s how they communicate.They can’t talk yet.

Money, you need lots of it for a baby.

Are you prepared financially for a baby?

A baby needs money for:

  • Toys. — Get soft ones, so they don’t hurt themselves. Babies are gentle, and very delicate.
  • A Pram. For walks.
  • Nappies.They need these everyday.
  • Food.They are growing up.
  • Clothes.You could even second hand clothes from family and friends.Save money.
  • Baby’s washing products. Get the rubber duck in that bath and lots of bubbles!
  • Other unexpected surprises.

Babies. Reflection of ourselves.

If your woman has a baby, it will change your life.

  • Your woman will feel like a Woman.
  • The man feels like life has a different meaning.
  • You probably will get more mature.
  • You will learn to love another human being.
  • You will have Responsibility.The baby will learn from you.
  • CONNECTION. You will connect with your baby.As you love your dad or mom, your baby will love you.
  • The baby Knows you are his dad.
  • He will IMITATE you and Look up to you.
  • You will Love your son or daughter.They are a part of you and your life.

Your GENETICS are passed on to your baby.He will look like you or your woman, or have a combination.

Babies. An excuse for shopping?

Let’s admit to it.Women LOVE Shopping.They have more sensitive taste’s than ours, are able to discern the mulititude of colours available, and are more inclined to be big fashion fans.Have you seen the different styles of shoes and clothes that they have? It’s HUGE.Their minds are going into overdrive when they shop.

Women and babies.

Ultimately, babies are more inclined to want to be close to their mothers.Women can feed them with breast milk, which is what nature has intended to do.Not that men are not useful to them, but babies have a big bond with their mothers, as they grew up in their bodies for a long 9 months.Does this explain the connection? It’s part of nature, women’s nature is a lot more caring, and sensitive to a baby’s needs.

  • Men just don’t understand nature, as nature never designed men to understand the special bond between babies and women.

    Not all women are obsessed with babies, and plenty of men want babies as much as, or even more than, women.

    Having a child is based on love and someone you want to share your life as a family… its not based on how much money a couple has… if that was the case and you base you need money to have a child… then our population of humanity would merely be less than 95 percent of human would not be on this earth… wake-up people real unconditionally love is for better or for worse, if it was base on money you wouldn’t be reading this..:))
