The very first thing I did when my oldest son was born was the cuddle with him for that skin-on-skin bonding. I would also nap with him so the mom could have some time to herself. He’s 11 now, and still wants me to lay with him when he goes to sleep at night. It used to bother me, but then I realized that he won’t always want me to lay with him, and I should enjoy it while I can. Now we use it as a one-on-one time to joke around and/or talk about more serious stuff. (I do this with my youngest too, but it started with my oldest)
