How can I handle feeling left out as a new dad?

To cope with feelings of being left out:

1. Communicate Openly: Discuss your feelings with your partner, expressing your desire to be more involved.
2. Engage in Care Activities: Take initiative in caring for the baby to strengthen your role and connection.
3. Seek Support: Talk to other dads or join parenting groups to share experiences and feelings.
4. Be Patient: Understand that the early days often center around the baby and that your involvement will grow over time.
