One das solved the problem of baby's socks falling off and the tiny feet getting cold. He simply put his socks on the baby and covered the whole leg.

One dad didn't have a changing table to change his baby's diaper, so he improvised brilliantly with a cardboard box.

14. The Rope Plait

Daddy didn't know how to make a princess plait, so he twisted his daughter's hair into a rope instead. And it looked very sweet.

15. The Key-Chain Pull

Dad was taking his child out for a ride on his tricycle, and he didn't have anything to pull him along with, so he used his key-chain, and it worked a treat.

Being a dad today is a game-changer. Once upon a time - not so long ago - fathers were not expected to be hands-on. Moms did that.

Now, changes in society have made men develop their parenting skills, and they are turning the whole game upside down with their new approach and male practicality.
