A survey of 3,000 dads across the UK has produced some intriguing results:
42% of new fathers say they argue more with their partners since the birth of a child, mostly about money
70% of 'older' dads get more sleep than their partners
26 % of dads in their twenties get less sleep than their female partners
49% of fathers get up in the middle of the night to attend to their babies
53% of 'older' dads do night-time feeds
British dads in their thirties are the most 'hands on':
61% claim to regularly changing nappies
58% regularly feed the baby
56% calm their baby when he or she cries
Dads in their late forties struggle the most with parenthood:
52% feel helpless when the baby is crying
How does your partner stack up against these stats? How often does your male partner feed, change, or settle your baby? Do you think new fathers need more support?
