His journey from a Father to a Dad.

His journey from a Father to a Dad.

    I wish Kartavya was born with a manual so that not only me but all my near ones could take care of him as per the instructions mentioned in it.

  • How to feed him?
  • How to stop him from crying?
  • How to make him sleep on time?
  • How to handle his tantrums?
  • How to take care of him when sick?

But the very next thought was, 

      “Then what would be the difference between mother and others.”


Kartavya has started speaking in his baby language, and everyone around, asks me that what does he mean, to which many a time I am clueless.

Yes, a Mother knows everything, but sometimes even mommy can not crack the code.

In our case, Kartavya has his translator.


None other than his Super Dad. Mr.Chintan Patel.
its rightly said

“No love is greater than Mom’s love & No care is greater than Dad’s care” 

Yes, dear mommies. Fathers too can take care of the kid, not like you but actually even better than us.

We mommies have some fixed notions and rules for our baby’s schedule which when changed make us restless, so we try doing everything by yourself & ultimately make our task tiresome.
    We need help and who’s better than your better half, as we forget one most important thing; That Your baby is half of him, how cannot he be able to take baby’s care!


We carried our baby in our womb for 9 long months, still, post birth we are always in the learning process, so just imagine ur hubby’s situation.
I admit fathers have their own way of handling toddler which is sometimes annoying, full of mischief & illogical.

But we need to give them some time & space with kid
as 


  • He was the one who got most excited about the positive pregnancy test result, 
  • He was the one who felt butterfly in his stomach, though the baby was kicking inside your womb,
  • He was the one who had teary eyes on first glance of the baby.
  • He was the one who first carried the newborn in his arms with trembling hands,
  • And Sadly He Is the one who gets the least amount of time to spend with the baby.


How can we expect them to get ready for such a huge responsibility to which they get the least amount of experience & most amount of instructions to be followed.

Remember, how we felt when we get unnecessary advice from our dear ones and our poor hubby are continuously been counted for their mistakes. 

Fathering is not something perfect men do, but something that perfects the men 

The first 1&1/2 year your baby is dependent on you, but later let him take the charge.

  • Be it messy feeding, 
  • Be it bedtime mischief on soiled mattresses, 
  • Be it an unscheduled nap.

Let them enjoy their Father-Son Time.



    I still remember, when Kartavya was just 11 months, I used to leave him with his dad with just prepared food and a short explanation of how to handle his mischief.
To my amaze, I didn’t receive even a single call and to my return, both were fast asleep.

    Katavya left breastfeeding at 18 months of his age and following that his dependency on me transferred to his dad.
Now He is always in search for his dad, be it bathing, feeding, sleeping or playing games.

Do I feel jealous? Of course, I do. But it’s part of the parenthood which I accepted with open arms.



Its truly said, Any Man can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad.

Mr. Chintan Patel thank you for being my Kartavya’s super dad.

Chintu + Kittu, you both truly form Father & son duo.
