Because it is gross. Why guilt him to do something that he doesn't want to go?

You are crazy and he is crazy for taking these drugs. I guess when he gets metastatic breast cancer from these drugs, you will regret your insanity. Breastfeeding is solely a woman's responsibility.

His more calm go with the flow will help balance things out in your household. He is looking forward to this, but his approach may be different. Beware that thinking only your way is right will push him away from being involved much at all.

We were basically shirtless for the first few weeks and I still did S2S up until 8 or 9 months, especially when sick/teething. DH did most of the early morning wakeups and wrapped him in a Moby without a shirt. Your breathing regulates their breathing, your temperature regulates their temperature, your skin on their skin provides pressure on their nerve endings. Do you not love the feeling of cuddling up to your DH/significant other- it is a huge boost of oxytocin. For infants oxytocin is bread and butter. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6838998/

Wow. Issues on full display.

Its not the only thing you do S2S for. Paranoia is hereditary btw.

What difference does it make? You will be doing skin to skin every time the baby breastfeeds if you are breastfeeding. And if you are talking right after birth, how weird for your DH to be taking his clothes off in a room full of people! Plus they swaddle the baby really fast.
I don't understand these new idiotic concepts at all.

The doctors and nurses don’t want your husband stripping down in the delivery room. Super weird.

Honestly, this is just another thing that he's been resistant to about the baby. He didn't want to read any pregnancy or parenting books. He did finally look at some websites. He didn't see the need to set up a nursery. I did most of the selection for the registry. The research on cribs, nursery colors, car seats, feeding, etc.

The thing is he swears he's always wanted, kids. Cried when he found we were expecting, called everyone.

She's supposed to be here in less than a week and he's all non chalant about it and now the no skin to skin thing is bugging me

You researched nursery colors? Your poor husband.

Do you think he will be able to do anything right?

They are not idiotic. There are multiple peer-reviewed articles on this issue and why it is important.

Does your DH not bathe?
