Having a baby and making the transition to parenthood is a very complicated process. I say this from both my professional perspective as a family counselor, and my own experience as a father of two children. With all the various pressures on young families, often there is not enough time or energy for parents to have the sexual contact one or both partners want.

In the third month of fatherhood you begin to hope for a "routine" to be established for your baby. But that's not always the case! It doesn't mean anything is "wrong" with your baby or that you and your wife are not doing things right. Babies take a long time to adjust to being in the outside world. Remember for nine months your baby's every need was met on demand. Eating, sleeping, all bodily functions were met immediately and without any effort while inside the womb. Over the last two months your baby has been learning how to communicate their needs to you. Needs they don't even understand themselves.
