A: You are writing to a lawyer's forum, but I'm not sure you are asking about your legal rights as a dad, which I think my colleague Mr. Thorgaard was assuming when he responded. Are you asking about that, or are you only trying to get help with training your wife/girlfriend on newborn-handling? If the latter, one thing she can do is view training videos on Youtube. I just googled, "Youtube newborn training", which brought up several training videos, like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bjr7DgN_nk

(However, I am NOT vouching for the accuracy or wisdom of any such videos.)

Another thing she can do is to contact social workers, or contact the city or county commissioner representing her district to see if they can direct her to any city or county social services.
