On March 8, a "Training Class for Novice Dads" officially started in Chongqing Maternal and Child Health Hospital.
In the classroom, "novice" fathers not only have to learn how to hold babies and change diapers, but also how to massage and cook confinement meals for pregnant women during confinement.
In the session of learning to make confinement meals, the "novice" fathers fully demonstrated their "novice" characteristics. The dough making and kneading were all done by expectant mothers. The expectant mothers laughed and said that "novice" fathers could only peel oranges and taste gourmet food.
Although the knowledge of maternal and infant care is relatively unfamiliar, the "novice" fathers are very serious and record while listening to the lecture.
In the practice of using the postpartum restraint belt, the "novice" fathers couldn't wait to operate it by themselves. The "novice" father who played the role of the mother kept shouting for pain and asked everyone to move more lightly.
The mothers-to-be at the scene also secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the "novice" fathers who were serious but in a hurry.
They told the reporter that they were fortunate to have the expectant fathers come to participate in the training in advance. Although the "novice" fathers' techniques are not standardized, as long as they practice more, when the child is born, the "novice" fathers will probably be upgraded to "experienced" fathers.
"Novice" fathers also expressed that they must learn more about maternal care and infant care, take good care of their children with their wives, and run a happy small family.
