I'm gonna guess that she's happily startled because, for example, mine hit his weed pen outside every 15 minutes and fell asleep on the couch and never once came near me. I think that my experience (or smth similar) is pretty common.

I'm not trying to start a damn war of the roses, and apparently this is NOT the correct answer (see the next comment below mine). Just popped in with my stupid, obviously incorrect thought about what this could mean. So chill with calling me a stupid whore.
I (M) remember my overnight stay after delivery, I tried to soothe the baby when it awoke and it wasn’t feeding time, and woke every time the nurses came in i was there to help mom during feedings. We slept in fits, they wake mom every 4 hours to encourage feeding.
I remember the nurse’s told me that most dads don’t help, don’t get involved, and leave everything to the mom.
We were jut recovering from a brutal birth so I was eagerly interested in both baby and mom’s health and recovery but the stories the nurses told me were shocking.
I had a similar experience after each of mine. made me a little sad tbh. Just trying to be supportive and help how i could.
1st was natural, 2nd and 3rd needed C sections due to medical issues.
2nd was the challenging one because he was in NICU 20 mins away so we were pumping to store and I had to drive it over there every 3 hours ahead of his feedings until her milk came in and we had enough to freeze and go once a day. We relied a lot on family to help with my oldest as well.
