First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether teaching new fathers how to care for their newborn (like hygiene, safety, and feeding) helps them feel more capable and strengthens their bond with the baby. 75 first-time fathers took part and were given training in different ways. The goal was to see which method works best and to reduce mistakes in baby care.
