New Moms Are the Heart of the Matter

In Boot Camp for New Dads, the veterans (new dads who come back with their babies to help show the rookies the ropes) have always advised dads-to-be that supporting mom should be a core objective. So teaching soon-to-be fathers to respect and support their mates became a major priority. It also became clear that while mom was the only real support a man has as he becomes a dad, nobody was teaching her how to support him. In fact, as soon as her test shows a plus sign, she gets assimilated like an immigrant into a new world where mothers reign supreme, and they neither respect fathers or the relationship between new moms and dads.

This is not good for babies, dads or moms, so to fix this problem, we have launched New Moms Hearts and Minds Project:

Dear Mom-to-be, Have We Got a Deal for You!
Once your baby arrives, you don’t want to do it all, and he doesn’t want to lose you. With a hands-on dad in the house, your baby gets the best of you both, you stay sane, and your relationship doesn’t take a dive (like way too many do). He keeps your heart and you keep your mind. You can learn how from us guys by checking out What Moms-To-Be Should Know About New Dads.
Love, Dads

When new moms and dads understand and appreciate each other, they work together, do a better job for their baby, and are happier. This is a great way to build a new family, the basic building block of humanity.

Nothing but good can come from this mom and dad collaboration. Check it out at NewMomsProject.org and tell us what you most appreciate about the support your mate provides you. We will pass it on to the moms-to-be.
