Dad's Unconventional Way of Practicing Diaper Changes Has the Internet Rolling
Preparing for baby takes on many forms. There's just so much to learn and the experience has expecting parents expanding their minds as they wrap their heads around their new role.
This dad-to-be is all in when it comes to practicing for when baby arrives. He's got his dog in on it, too. Prepare to be charmed because the way he practices diaper changes is quite amazing.
Dad wants to get diaper changes right so he needs to practice. Who better to practice on than their very willing dog. How cute is this pupper?!
The scene is adorable. Dad's put on a funny Adam Sandler-esque voice, and he's barefoot. He's over the pack-and-play with the diaper changer attached making all these cute daddy sounds. He's changing someone's diaper ... but baby hasn't arrived yet.
Once mom-to-be gets closer it's clear who it is. The cutest dog ever! The most calm dog ever! Her name is Roxy and she is clearly the baby!
"She said, 'Well I am a baby so I guess,'" one commenter wrote.
It's the way she looks back at the camera with those sweet eyes that really gets know about the baby shower, the baby gear, even the baby classes to prep parents-to-be for their little one once they are Earthside, but there's always more to know. Here are some extra tips to prepare for baby's arrival from seasoned parents.
The big one is how to set up your house. It's not exactly about baby proofing as you have a bit of time before baby starts crawling around, but more about making it best for new parents to navigate. Consider where the crib is in relation to your bed. Is there a clear path for sleepy middle of the night feedings? Is the lighting ideal for you and baby? Sorting these details out may make for a smoother transition into parenthood.
Talking about finances and child care with your partner is also a solid idea. You'll want to come to an understanding on each of your thoughts on these matters and hatch a plan — and even a backup idea.
It's all about creating a game plan with your partner, in particular, regarding what each of your responsibilities may be. Will you be taking turns doing diaper changes in the night? Will your partner help with the feedings? Will the household duties shift?
Talking about this ahead of time may be helpful.
Just like learning how to change a diaper is. Just ask this dad ... and puppy. They are ready!
