Giving birth and raising a child for the first time is an unknown experience for everyone. Mothers going through childbirth also have a lot of unknowns. There will be times when fatigue and lack of sleep combine to weaken the body and mind. Mothers do not know everything and cannot handle it all on their own.

On the other hand,When I listen to the stories of fathers, it is not uncommon to hear them say, "I actually felt lonely too!He said. They "didn't know anything about childcare and didn't know what to do." Even when they are close to each other, their lack of knowledge prevents them from communicating and supporting each other appropriately, which can leave them feeling isolated from each other.

In an age when it is becoming more and more common for mothers and fathers to raise children together, many fathers want to be actively involved in childcare ......, but are worried because they do not know how to obtain knowledge or do not have the time.

A popular parenting quiz turns parenting anxiety into confidence!

Is she spitting up her baby food because she doesn't like it?"
How do I play with my baby?"
What do you do when you have a fever?"
What do I do if something gets stuck in my throat?"
