Cuddles

Women are right. At least about the importance of cuddling. Perhaps surprisingly, men are equally wonderful doing it with boys or girls. Such are the findings of researchers at Sweden's Karolinska Institute who tested dads to see if physically bonding with their Caesarean-delivered newborns would bring some peace faster to the nursery. And it did.

** The downside: expectant fathers will be under more pressure to appear in delivery rooms where better behavior is also expected, rather than in hospital smoking areas and neighborhood bars. **
