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.

Maybe it’s cultural, but I don’t know many dads here who wouldn’t be helping out after the birth.

where are you from? I think it's the norm here in germany, to stay on her side and keep everything away from her so she can rest.
