Fathers can and absolutely should be involved with their children. I can't imagine why having a good father figure is bad for anyone.

"Skin to skin" is a thing and I'm so glad it is. We had a 5 week early premie and the nurses said that the skin to skin contact with either parent helps so much. They, the midwife, and everyone else that helped us for that matter really promoted it.

Don't a lot of US hospitals charge extra to let you do that?

I honestly have no idea, but healthcare here is completely fucked.
