"Dad Brain", How Fatherhood Changes the Male Mind

Even before the baby is born, men also experience significant hormonal changes that affect their behavior and relationship with their child. Although the changes in women are often talked about, studies show that fathers are also biologically adapted to the role of caregiver, according to the BBC.

One of the main changes is a decrease in testosterone, which is associated with greater involvement in child care. The more time fathers spend with the baby, the more pronounced these changes are. These processes can begin during pregnancy.

It also increases oxytocin, known as the “love hormone,” which strengthens the emotional bond with the baby. Contact and interaction with the baby increase this hormone, creating a positive cycle that makes fathers more involved and caring.

In conclusion, paternal care is not just a cultural choice, but has a strong biological basis.
