It's not a case of the man saying to the baby, «Here you are, have my boobie,» but usually of the baby
snuffling along the father's chest, finding the nipple and sucking.
Try the colic waltz: Although it's much more fun to play with a happy baby, when it all goes «pear shaped», Dads are often the best baby settlers: you don't smell like breast milk so if baby has a bellyache, he can relax without
snuffling round for more mummy milk; you have big strong arms to lie him
along (with his legs straddled across your arm and a bit of pressure against his belly).
