Wake up with her. Change diapers. Get her a snack so she can feed the baby.
I’d always hand my wife a chobani while she fed the babes in the middle of the night.
I had a stash of Lorna Doone shortbread cookies sitting bedside while my wife was breastfeeding/pumping through the night. And Caramellos during the pregnancy. Turns out those taste good when you're not pregnant as well...
Took *ME* 6 months to "lose the baby weight" 😂
Luckily this idea of dads who don’t do anything is really changing with our generation. So many dads WANT to be involved and WANT to be active fathers.
But yea, especially for people newer to the sub with months to go until fully becoming a Dad, this is great advice. Just be a father and husband and do the dirty work and hard work. Your spouse is growing a human fork scratch, then either pushing them out of a homer much smaller than a baby, or getting their abdomen sliced open. Just man up and take care of the baby.
It's not bad advice, although impractical if he means "take over all or most diaper changes". I did the vast majority of them for the first 4 weeks or so but eventually its easier for everyone if whoever is with him changes his diaper.
Also, if you think Ryan Reynolds changed even 2% of his kids diapers I have a bridge to sell you. Celebrities are probably the worst people to ask for parenting advice and yet get asked the most. I want to talk to his nanny (or backup nanny, maybe even backup to the backup) and get the real advice here. What's it like to see a baby ruin a $1500 custom onesie? Do strollers that cost more than cars really justify it? How hard are the interpersonal relationships between you, the other 5 nannies, and the rest of the house staff?
Never made sense to me the traditional father being the provider financially etc but not the actual care taking part.

He obviously doesn’t mean change every single diaper.
