Abstract

Clarify the causes of and suggest solutions for parenting anxiety in fathers of one- month-olds. A questionnaire survey of parents after their child's one-month checkup, followed by a t- test analysis of the responses, categorized into first- and later-child groups. 　Valid questionnaires: 123 (28.6%). 90 fathers (73.2%) found parenting difficult; 83 (67.5%) were worried about parenting; 110 (89.5%) were always kind to their children; 120 (97.6%) found them cute; 37 (30.1%) got annoyed with them; 48 (39%) had places to consult in the community, etc.; 87 (70.7%) had questions about growth and development; and 19 (15.5%) actively used community childcare centers, etc. 　For being kind to their children, a significant difference was found in first-child fathers. For finding their children annoying, one was found in later-child fathers. 　First-child fathers are more positive about and actively involved in parenting. 　Specific advice and procedures can reduce parenting anxiety. Later-child fathers have nowhere to consult in the community, etc. about parenting. 　The above suggests the importance of creating communities and opportunities for fathers to talk together.
