It might not be significant to a baby, but it surely is significant for the mother (presuming dad helps her, and not just sits around the house), and less stressed-out mothers are in turn good for babies and the family in general.
- mrlala 7y agoThis all the way. I mean, I also think it's significant for the baby & dad. But even ignoring that.. holy shit does the mother need support. Maybe some moms don't, maybe they happen to have an easy baby.. have parents closeby to easily help. But other mothers have a terribly difficult time, post-natal depression.. you name it. Having the dad around for support means everything during that time- I can speak from experience.
