For a long time in the past, the father of the child was complained by many mothers as the "most useless mother and baby product", and even "fatherly love is like a mountain" was redefined by the mothers.
However, when the post-90s generation began to become a new generation of parents, things began to change subtly.
A few days ago, the newly baked "2022 China Maternal and Infant Industry Research Report" showed that the new generation of bao dads have made gratifying progress in both the enthusiasm of the baby and the basic skills of the baby.
01 Attack on the new generation of dads
In the past, "busy work" was the main business of many fathers, and the time spent with their children every day was pitiful, and it was not unusual to even live under the same roof for several days without seeing their children, and it was impossible to talk about care.
For the new generation of bao dads, work is as important as bringing a baby.
According to the "2022 China Maternal and Infant Industry Research Report" data, in 2021, 43.8% of Bao Dad spends more than 5 hours a day with the baby (except for sleep time), and 56.1% of Bao Dad will consciously understand and learn related parenting knowledge and master more baby skills.
The way the new generation of bao dads take their children is no longer limited to "nursing", they will not only feed the baby, wear clothes, change diapers, but also be very willing to take the child to the outdoors, play games with the child, travel with the child, tell the child a story...
Different from the traditional understanding that "taking children is a woman's business", more and more new generations of bao dads have begun to assume their own parenting responsibilities and take the initiative to share parenting affairs with bao moms.
02 "Pig teammate" becomes "good comrade"
Indeed, in recent years, some post-90s babies have become more and more "family-oriented", work is no longer the only focus of their lives, and they are more and more willing to take their babies in life.

The new generation of dads has proved with practical actions that they are no longer "pig teammates" and "useless maternal and infant products", and they can also hold many parenting operations.
Why is the new generation of dads willing to bring their babies? Mommy believes there are four main reasons:
First, with the development of society and the times, the traditional "male outside, female inside" family division of labor model has gradually changed to a modern family model of equality and emotional centralization, and men's awareness of taking on housework and sharing childcare has improved.
Second, the society has a high reputation for men with babies. In the past, male children with babies will be considered to be the performance of "no show", and now fathers with babies will generally be praised for their family, sense of responsibility, good men, and the friendly social evaluation system has contributed to the transformation of the new generation of dads in parenting from "I don't" to "I want".
Third, the concept of parenting has changed. Most of the new generation of dads are well educated, more respectful of scientific parenting, understand what kind of role the role of dad plays in the child's life, and are more willing to invest time and energy to accompany the child's growth.
Fourth, the experience with the baby is good, and more positive feedback can be obtained. Being with a child is also a kind of healing, and this happiness is irreplaceable.
In any case, post-90s men are more willing to take the initiative to take the baby, which is a good thing after all.
Children can get a better growth experience because of the company of their fathers; wives will have more time and energy to realize their self-worth because they have a husband to share child-rearing affairs; fathers can get happiness and a sense of accomplishment from them when they participate in parenting.
Raising a baby has never been a matter for the mother alone, but the common responsibility of the parents, the child needs the mother more need the father, I hope that more and more fathers, from "pig teammates" to comrades who fight side by side with the mother, accompany and care for the healthy growth of the child.
