Looking too hire

[Mummy201420202022]

Hey can anyone help please I'm looking too hire a virtual baby ( the ones that cry ) my partner is going too be a 1st time dad and I think this would help me with his confidence before we have our little bundle off joy. We don't want too send too much can anyone help? X

If his disabilities impact on his ability to assume his parenting role, he may be able to access support through social care. I would encourage you to contact adult social care in the council who can assess him and arrange services as appropriate.

This is brilliant advice and I'm really pleased you're going to give them a call tomorrow - let us know how you get on. There is support out there and no shame whatsoever in asking for it

The midwives at the hospital might be able to help

Unfortunately they can't as I'm only 8 weeks 1 day

You're very welcome. Good luck and I hope your daughter is well enough to be home with you soon too.

With the greatest of respect you both probably should have had this discussion before you got pregnant, if you actually worry about him not being able to care for a child. It sounds like with a seriously ill baby and your partner having medical and learning difficulties you already have a lot to contend with..you are going to need support. I'd contact the gp or midwife In the first instance and explain everything you have here. Get that support in place ready for when the baby arrives.
