To those guys complaining that this video is mostly about women and very little advice, your success in all this mostly derives from supporting your spouse. If you take care of her, she can feed the baby and produce enough food for her to be able to rest while you take shifts to support the baby. Bring her food, wash the dishes, change the baby, walk the dogs, etc. There’s only so much us guys can do when we don’t have breasts to feed the baby with. Outside of that, get some rest as soon and often as possible. I’m going through it right now and, while challenging, it’s perfectly doable between two people, even already being back at work. Hope this helps a bit.
I am a nurse and plan to use this in my childbirth education classes. This is a phenomenal video and so important for dads and partners! Well done and thank you for the great resource.
thank you so much for presenting such valuable information in a well directed and entertaining way! I'm very excited to be able to share the resources you all are providing here!
We dont talk about it. Men are expexted to be a protector and a provider. And loving, caring husband and father. So we are generaly taking both gender roles. So we apologize if sometimes we loose our patient.
Am a new dad now it's been 3 days since my wife's emergency C section am rally anxious I can't stop checking on him and thinking something bad is going to happen when he is health am sending my self mad please help thank you
Hey, Dan. I know exactly what you're going through! Your wife just went through a traumatic event. I want you to realize that YOU went through a traumatic event 3 days ago too, and you'll feel the effects of that experience. Acknowledge to yourself and to your wife that anxiety is there and work to comfort each other. I'm not a therapist, I'm just a dad who also went through traumatic birth events. Your baby will be fine, and this scary time will pass. Every day that goes by, your baby gets stronger and stronger, and before you know it you'll be rough-housing and playing throughout your house with that kid! Keep in touch and congratulations on the birth of your little boy! -Sam
I wish more fathers were understanding and willing to be present in the post-partum period. However 'post-partum' is much more than just those 40 days.
I am so sorry for his loss, and yours! You could encourage him to talk to a grief counselor. Encourage him to share his feelings and let him know it's okay to grieve. Lean on friends and family for support, and try to focus on your new baby for moments of joy. Take care of each other! You’ll get through it together.

Well-over a minute into this and you're still talking about moms and what happens to them. Is your title just click-bait? I came to learn about paternal postpartum depression....not moms.
I thinks it's mostly a guide for husbands to understand and care for their wives when she has post partum. But it does mention that dads can get depressed too at 4:09
"The safety of the baby and mother is the most important thing"---way to undercut your message, as though paternal depression isn't important....or at best second to maternal needs, like maternal depression. Already lost interest in what I hoped would be fun and informative. Can't anyone view fathers' needs as critical and important to their own health, as well as the health of their child and family?
Thank you for the comment. That wasn’t my intention. That same statement goes before each video I do as a way to make it clear that any advice given here should be taken as long as it doesn’t put the birthing partner or the baby in danger. I really hope you can watch the whole video, because I try to let people know that fathers can be affected by postpartum depression the same way mothers can. There’s a section in the video about how it can affect fathers just the same. You’re right- a father’s role is incredibly critical, and people need to know that it affects him just the same.

Hey, dads. If you want to say something to another dad who's been through it, let me know!
Sss

Thank you, Emily!
I hope all dads watch this
1 thing that everyone forgets is lack of sleep.. waking up every 2:30 hours to feed the baby =/

My bf lost his mom 9 days after we had our first baby…Someone please help and give advice on how to handle that.

My wife is literally unbearable !! I can t stand her anymore, she acts like a diva for everything and everything i do is not considered.
Wth
She literally went close to death and came back.
Please understand that she cant help it, she might be having postpartum blues or depression
