SHE thought she was going to capture a “cute moment” between her husband and their daughter.
So Maria was more than a little surprised when it actually ended up being something else.
She took to her TikTok page to share a clip of the hilarious moment her other half could be heard giving his little girl a pep talk ahead of getting into bed.
“You can be quiet, so maybe I can sleep with Mummy tonight,” he told his baby as he lent over to wish her goodnight.
“Try not to wake us up, ok, cause Daddy’s trying to get his leg over, ok?”
“You’ll be extra quiet if you hear Mummy making noises, you have to go back to sleep, ok?” he hilariously added.
Concluding, he told the tot – who dutifully closed her eyes: “Here’s your game plan, don’t let me down!”
“Not the cute moment I thought I was going to capture,” Maria captioned the TikTok.
“Anyone else’s partner prep the baby before bed?”
Within minutes of posting, the comments section of Maria’s video was flooded with people giggling at the hilarious incident.
“That is GOLD!” one laughed.
“Love this… one of the best videos I have seen,” another added.
“This is so strangely sweet. I love it,” a third commented.
“And I’m rooting for daddy over here.
“Don’t give up dude; the world is on your side!”
“See the way the baby went to sleep at the end like she understood the assignment!” someone else giggled.
“Keep this recording and play this at their 21st birthday party!” another wrote.
“What a great idea… then she will understand as to why there are more babies and less money to spend on her!” Maria replied.
How long should you wait before having sex after birth?
AFTER giving birth, it’s generally recommended to wait six weeks before resuming sexual activity.
This time frame allows your body to heal and recover, particularly after vaginal or cesarean deliveries. Here’s why:
Physical Healing: The body undergoes many changes during childbirth, including tears or incisions that need time to heal, as well as the uterus shrinking back to its normal size. The six-week period allows for proper healing of any stitches or incisions and reduces the risk of infections.
Lochia (Postpartum Bleeding): After birth, you’ll experience lochia, a discharge that can last up to six weeks. Resuming sex before this has stopped can increase the risk of infection.
Hormonal Changes: Hormones fluctuate significantly post-birth, and you may experience vaginal dryness or discomfort due to lower estrogen levels. Waiting gives your body time to regain balance.
Emotional Readiness: It’s also important to be emotionally ready. The postpartum period can be overwhelming with physical recovery, caring for your newborn, and adjusting to new life dynamics. Take your time to reconnect with your partner emotionally and physically.
Despite this, according to the NHS, “there are no rules about when to start having sex again after you have given birth.”
The NHS explained: “You’ll probably feel sore as well as tired after your baby is born, so don’t rush into it.”
“I love how he’s tryin to be nonchalant about it too,” someone else laughed.
“This is absolutely hilarious,” another praised.
As someone else commented: “Daddy is like, ‘Be a team player help a brother out, and I will create you new company!’”
“She only 4 months old,” Maria responded.
“No new company for her any time soon!”
