Fathers' Affectionate Stimulation and Caregiving Behaviors with Newborn Infants.
Sawin, Douglas B.; Parke, Ross D.
Family Coordinator, v28 n4 p509-13 Oct 1979
Overall findings from this series of studies indicate that fathers are as competent as mothers in providing affection, stimulation, and the necessary care for newborn infants. During feeding in the neonatal period, fathers have been found to be just as active participants in dyadic interactions with their infants as are mothers. (Author)
