subject: Carry The Diaper Bag - It Will Make Your Wife More Affectionate [print this page] Your wife feels isolated and lonely and she is struggling with body image issues and low self-esteem. She needs you to be there for her. She needs to know that you can take on the hard jobs and are willing to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty - so to speak. So, yeah, changing the baby's diapers can actually lead to an increase in your love-life activity. Remember when she first became pregnant, how neglected you felt? It is even more-so with a newborn. So, be willing to carry that baby bag. Get involved if you want love. You don't even have to give up your masculine self-image to help - there are plenty of companies out there now making diaper bags just for men. Because more men have found out what you are just now realizing.
Get Involved With The New Baby Planning
Don't be afraid to change the diaper - this is the easy bit. The hospital staff will certainly help you, you aren't the first guy who came in asking how to do this. There are also lots of resources on the internet, videos and checklists. Start informing yourself. Get involved by planning and getting the things baby is going to need. Changing table, diaper bucket, supply of diapers. Bottles - get the 4 ouncers to start with. Burp cloths and blankets. Get lots of hand sanitizer, too, you really need clean hands to feed a baby, and you will want clean hands after you change a diaper. Hey, I'm just the messenger. These "code browns" can really get ugly if you aren't prepared. You will want to get some things for mommy too - things to take the stress off.
Pampering - I Don't Mean Diapers (although that would help too) - I mean indulging and spoiling
Buying lingerie would be fun for YOU, but that's not what she needs right now. Go pick up some things for her that will make HER relax. Shampoos and rinses. Nice smelly lotions. Nail Stuff. You know all the girly things she liked to do before she got pregnant. Clothes, makeup and shoes are investments women make in their happiness. When she sees you putting in the work and "getting it" - it will help her re-ignite the flame in the bedroom.
