Any good advice for teen fathers?

my little brother is only 16 and his girlfriend is 5 months pregnant. he needs some good advice.Any good advice for teen fathers?
Don't be a teen father... that is my advice... but it sounds like this advice is a little late... but he should stay with her and help her with the whole thing...Any good advice for teen fathers?
keep his thing in his pants next time !!
It's too late to change anything now, just stick with the girlfriend. Go to prenatal classes, and ask for support from both families.
you 2 late sorry
you just have to be there for your child as much as you can because in this nday and time, children need both mothera dn father.
tell him that he made this happen he has to stay be her side if not then he wont like himself when he gets older and tell him he should help her and go to work and do what dads do b-cuz he is soon going to be a dad and he should stick by her side and stay with her
get a court ordered paternity test. then, get your visitation and child support agreement. If they are going to stay together they should probably live in one family's home, unless there is alot of anger from the grandparents. They should go to parenting classes as well, these are usually available thru the county or the hospital. And they will need all the family support they can get. And get some sex ed and birthcontrol so it dosen't happen again!
get a job and help support your girl and the baby when it comes. i know u might think u r 2 young 4 a job but if your old enough 2 get her pregnant than u are old enough 2 get a job and support the mom and baby. good luck :)
Tell him that the nutt is still good with a rubber...
no matter what always be there for your children!!!
Be there. That's the best thing you can do. Don't just pay for diapers - which you need to do - but change them when you're around.





He needs to have a DNA test done in the hospital. He needs to do this not to cast aspersions on the mother, but to be able to prove the baby is unarguably, legally his progeny in order to get some kind of custody or visitation agreement hammered out. Even if they plan to marry, he needs to do this so they don't have to go through an adoption process with the child.
I have a 15 year old son and I know if he had fathered a child I would want to be a huge part of that babies life as well as him! First he definetely needs to finish school! He needs to totally get his education! So that later he can provide for his family and kids! If he can find a part time job- a full time job in the summer- always pay support to the mother. I say make it in money orders so that she xcannot say you never gave any money! Take thingds one day at a time. Be there when his child is born! Thats an amazing experience he truly does not want to miss. Ask the mother if she would like to take Lamaz classes with him to get ready for natural child birth that way he is trained on the breathing techniques and can help make labor easier for her. Start putting things back NOW before the baby is born. NO MORE VIDEO GAMES for awhile Im afraid! Start buying like Newborn diapers- and a few newborn outfits- little things u know the baby will need! Does your mother know about this? If NOT she totally needs to know! I know I would totally want to KNOW! God Id pay the child support myself! BUT most important- BE THERE for the child once he is born! ALWAYs be there for the baby! Good luck
Don't get frusterated with the baby they can since that stuff spend some time with the baby and the mother the more time spent together the less frusterating it will be.
He needs to keep it in the holster first (that advice is to late), but more importantly he will be a father and needs to be the best he can be for his child. That means the partying is over and it is time to be a man.





That means continue your education (to get a better job later in life), get a job to help support the child now and stay in contact. This child will think the world of you as long as you are there and love him with all your heart. Your brother will also need to get along with the mother and her family and be respectful - always.





By all means he needs to practice safe sex and use birth control. By having a child at 16 you have given a man's task to a boy and he really needs to be tough and disciplined to make it. This is where family comes in to help support this task.





Good luck.
What kinda brother are you???you r too late Dude
The baby did not ask to be born. Whatever happens between he and the mother, he needs to remember that he is a father forever. Girlfriends, parties, jobs, and other life events now come second to the life he created. If they are going to keep the baby he needs to remember, he and the mother may not be together forever but he and the baby will be. He needs to love and protect what he created and things will work out.





It may be hard but life has a funny way of working out.
Do the right thing and even if they don't work out be there for his child. Thats all i can really give.
what advice is there do give?
tell him to be there for his girlfriend and child. and to get a job and support them but not drop out of school.





education is important... so an afterschool job would be ideal for his situation. its true he wont get to spend as much free time with his gf or the baby at times but the money he will be making will be a big help.
whatever he does DONT WALK OUT! even a father who cannot help with child support as long as he is around is going to have a huge impact not only on his babies but the mother's life...
I would see if the local hospital offers a parenting class and enroll them both mom and dad Get them a cpr class anything to help with the upcoming responsibility for them to undertake. How about birthing classes. Anything to prepare them because i would bet they have no idea what they are facing....Tell him to be strong for her and the baby. It;s time to be a man take responsibility and do what youcan to be the best father you can be. because that baby is dependent upon you and your decisions..and answer ANY questions he may have offer your own experience..
just remember you was that age once and try to see things their way. dont shout listen
The only advice i can give you is to get a job since you are 16 because you want to be able to buy your child whatever he/she needs. Then always be there for your baby-momma because when having a baby a girl needs a partner to count on, and I promise when your child is born it will bring tears to your eyes to see such a thing.
After the baby is born be sure 2 get a paternity test, it might not even b your player. BUT if it is your baby get a job, open a bank account (get direct deposit) and have a spending budget, save the rest for the baby. *Good Luck Daddy-O*
visit that baby often and pay child support!
He can't do much as far as money, but support him as much as possible. Encourage him to be there for the baby even if things don't work out with the mother. As long as he is there to help raise the baby he is trying to do the right thing.
Well, it is time to grow up. He does not get to be a boy anymore, the grown-up world is very much in front of him....





he needs to be there, be responsible, fight for his child, see his child (even if it is over between him and the mother), you can never spend too much time with the kid, get down on the floor and play - even if it means playing with dolls. bond with the child.





But more than anything, be consistent in your rules and regulations. What is a rule one day must also be a rule the next... Bedtime is bedtime....





BTW, it is ok to be a little scared. I became a mother at 15 so I know.....
keep it in his pants next time





take responsibility and geta JOB to support the baby





dont RUN! away from the problems
