Hubbys tend to feel helpless. Mine is a great guy and will do what is asked but having him always be intuitive isn't going to happen. Make a list of Daddy Do's to help out. Sometimes you need to knock them in the head with a 2x4 to get their attention but they usually come around. Get Dad a kangaroo carrier (front pack?) and send him to the store. He'll get great service, more self-esteem and bonding with baby. Works wonders.
