New dad Osher Günsburg shares sweet photo of skin-to-skin time with baby Wolfie
Aw. The Bachelor’s Osher Günsberg is now a dad, welcoming his first child with wife Audrey Griffen.
Welcoming Wolfie
Baby Wolfie arrived late last week and he’s a beautiful little guy, already much adored by his parents and teenage big sister (from Audrey’s previous relationship).
It’s fair to say that the new baby true love has hit Osher right in the feels. Sharing a lovely update to Instagram, he admits that he’s fully under his tiny boy’s spell and it’s obviously the start of a very special daddy-kiddo relationship.
“Getting skin to skin with our boy Wolfie about ninety minutes after he was born,” Osher captioned the photo.
“I was whispering my first words to him, welcoming him to the world and making some promises to him. To say that the smell of him seeped into my brain and started to rewire things is an incredible understatement.”
We feel you, Osher!
Noting that he’s starting to find those new dad feet now that the first week with wee Wolfie is about to tick over, Osher says that his baby gives some pretty life-affirming snuggles.
“We are now a few days in, and between feeds and nappy changes – whenever I can I’m whipping off my shirt and charging up on this little guy like he’s an induction stove.”
“I don’t know how long he’ll let me do it – but holy moly I feel the gears shifting between my ears when we cuddle like this.”
Admitting that breastfeeding is a little out of his reach (he’s leaving that to Audrey!) he notes that he’s still able to settle his newborn with a bit of skin-to-skin time.
“I’ll take that feeling for as long as I can get it,” Osher writes.
“The love hormone is flowing”
Osher’s followers were full of encouragement and congratulations.
“What a lucky little boy to have a Dad so enamoured!” one follower wrote. “My hubby is the same. It melts a mum’s heart to see.”
“Aww so sweet – such a lovely post – these are the times to cherish,” someone else commented.
“How divine, yes your brain is rewiring, bonding is happening at a chemical level for you both – oxytocin the love hormone is flowing between you both, you are wiring his tiny brain too,” author and parenting educator Pinky McKay wrote under Osher’s update.
“It’s love in action, so absolutely beautiful – melt and enjoy, this connection will last a lifetime.”
Naw. So well said!
