 [ Symptoms ] a mom & dad do not live together they co parent newborn at what age is it ok for dad to bring the baby home [ Disease ] how old of a newborn is the mother breast feeding breast feeding would be problematic for an extended visitation but after the child is older perhaps on a bottle age is not really a barrier newborns are better off not moving back and forth between homes but when they are a few months old there should not be a problem again as long as they can be fed fathers are capable of parenting a child as the mother with that obvious breast feeding concern as long as dad is willing able and capable of changing diapers etc has a duplication of all of those baby needs crib carseats infant seats etc in a safe home i do not see a problem children need both parents so if they can not be under the same roof at least they should have adequate individual parenting time
