Are you a new daddy? Well, dads are important, too. Here's what we think every new dad should know. The first weeks with a new baby is not only stressful for new mommies, but for new daddies, too. Prepare yourself by following these general guidelines:

* Be extra supportive and caring to your spouse. She is not only physically and emotionally exhausted from the birthing process, but her hormones are all out of whack too. A new mommy is flooded with hormonal changes as well as changes in her sleep, diet, and activity. This can cause feelings of anxiousness, sadness, frustration, and feeling overwhelmed with her new duties. Reassure your spouse that her feelings are normal and assist her in any way that you can. Just knowing that you are there for her and behind her 100% is a tremendous support.

* Be sure to compliment your spouse whenever possible.

* Ask your partner how you can help. Offer to help feed the baby, change diapers, give the baby a bath, or take care of your baby while mommy relaxes and catches up on some much needed sleep.
