Before our first child was born, my wife and I took a class at the hospital that included things like how to hold a baby, how to change a diaper, and how to dress a baby among other things. Look for a class like this in your area. Another idea is to find friends that have babies and pay them a visit to practice holding an infant. Take heart in the fact that babies are very resilient and flexible and they don't break very easily! @Paul – Nervous is definitely one of these feelings every dad gets.

What if I hurt them??? I'm big and they are soooo tiny!! These thoughts have been running through my mind for almost 5 months now. We are due in December with boy/girl twins. I am definately excited, but nervous. I know I can and will be a great father it is just the early stages that make me nervous. Once they can walk and talk...its on!! My wife and I have been together 11 years and these are our first children. I have read about every one of your topics and have found useful hints and tips. Thanks a bunch for the info but how do I overcome this fear of handling them??? NERVOUS- I have never even held a baby with two arms….let alone held two babies with one arm each!!!
