Daddy Chronicles I remember the moment I fully realized moms and dads were not equal in the early stages of a childs life. It was the get time my wife had left me alone with my daughter for an extended amount of time. I thought nothing of it negate I knew what I was doing but then it was time for her to eat. I grabbed her bottle with the fresh breastmilk in it and tried to feed her but she wouldn't eat. I thought something was wrong with the bottle so I got her a new one and she still wouldn't take it. Now we have a problem because a hungry infant is terrifying to a father who has run out of ideas. I didn't know what to do and she just kept screaming. I tried singing, walking around with her, hell I even tried to give it to her in a cup but NO she wouldn't take it and now her little face was covered in tears. I called my wife and told her I needed help but she was working. Then I remembered something I had heard about babies being comforted by the smell of their mother. With all other ideas exhausted I went to the hamper and grabbed my wife's pajama tank top and her robe and put them on. Just for reference I'm 6'2" 200 pounds my wife is 5'3" so of course nothing fit but it was my last hope. With tears in my own eyes I picked my baby up and walked with her wearing her mother's stuff. Now she didn't take the bottle but she did relax and go to sleep. Finally my wife gets home to find me completely defeated. She grabs my daughter and the bottle she refused to take from me and this little girl started eating with no problem. I went to the bathroom, got in the shower and cried. I had never been so upset before. I felt defeated and like I couldn't do this parenting thing because I wasn't what she needed. It was my worst parenting experience but I made it through and I think I'm good now. Lol oh and I was so mad at my baby for eating with her mom and not me I can't even lie they both were on my dislike list for about 5 min. We Good now. What's one experience you just felt powerless in as a parent? #theblackmancan #daddydaughter #daddiesgirls #thechroniclesofdaddy #lifestyle #love #daddygang #nitotogirls #twoundertwo #daddysgirls #afrofitness #blackgirlmagic
