Your Pregnancy: Week 27 for Dad
By: ePregnancy
 Before long, you’re going to have a baby on your hands. In your care. Relying on you to keep him safe. This is daunting, even for the most stoic. Here’s one small thing you can do to ensure you will be the best caretaker you can be: learn infant CPR. Classes are often free (or very low cost) and offered frequently, so enroll with your partner and with anyone else who will be charged with caring for your baby. Although the SIDS rate continues to fall, and even though you’ve babyproofed your home to within an inch of its life, infant CPR is an invaluable skill. After all, anything that could save your or another child’s life is worth the time, right?
If for some reason you cannot attend a class, the American Heart Association offers an Infant CPR Anytime kit. The kit contains everything you need to learn the basics of infant CPR and choking relief. You'll get the same mannequin that's used in other classes, plus a practice DVD and quick reference guides. Taking a class in person is always the best choice, but this kit offers another good option.
Daddy Dispatches
Scott, father to two: Not to scare the husbands and annoy the women but fellas, you are screwed! The Mommy you now share your home with feels as if the weight of the world is on her shoulders and nothing she can do is good enough. Her hormones are raging and she's exhausted. The best you can do is to be a gentle coach and remind her of the big picture, get some food down her throat, and just be there to help, or to listen or to agree or just to hug.
