[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Yes it's a thing. that dads do , shouldn't that be obvious due to it being something he's declinign?

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

While I understand your hurt feelings, I wouldn't worry about this right now because what he says before the baby is born is meaningless.  He has NO idea how he will feel until he holds this baby in his arms after its born.  I promise your husband will hold your baby either with his clothes or without them.  Honestly, while skin to skin is wonderful, babies just love to be held period.  When holding the baby helps the baby stay calm, your husband will understand the importance of it.  But it will take some time for your husband to truly bond with the baby.  He will feel kind of useless at first and this is normal.  [/quote]
