This week, Tony enters into a dark realm of raising newborns: apathy. Dads sometimes, if not often, find themselves feeling a level of purposeless or even apathy towards their newborn. If you are new to being a parent, this may come as a shock due to the tendency of everybody bringing so much excitement around the new arrival of your bundle of joy. However, that little bundle may not be as joyful as you first perceived.

Tony helps bring awareness to the possibility of parents feeling apathetic towards their newborn and provide wisdom from the Lord to help guide you through those dark moments of parenthood.

Imagine, for a moment, the serene image of a mother nursing her baby—only to have the peace interrupted by latch issues and the sharp sting of nipple pain. That's where I, Tony Smith, come in with my ukulele and a head full of science, ready to guide all you dads through the breastfeeding journey. On this episode of the Walk Family Podcast, we wade through the waters of nursing, offering a supportive buoy to the moms navigating this challenging course. I'll regale you with tales from my own life and provide insight into the crucial role fathers play. From understanding your baby's hunger cues to knowing when to seek help from a lactation expert, we cover all bases to ensure you're not just a bystander in this pivotal process.

Breastfeeding isn't just about a baby and a breast; it's an intricate dance between mother, child, and yes, even dad. As we explore the emotional labyrinth that comes with nursing—be it anxiety, self-doubt, or the bittersweet conclusion of the breastfeeding period—I'll share strategies for open communication and family support. We'll talk about different nursing holds that can make all the difference in comfort and connection, and confront the sometimes-daunting decision to supplement or switch to bottle-feeding. Rest assured, this talk isn't about dictating the 'right' way to feed your child but rather an affirmation that each loving choice you make is the perfect one for your family. So tune in, and let's embark on this supportive expedition together.
