Parenting is a never-ending learning process. It is not just the kids, but the parents also have to learn and adapt as things come their way.

Children are little bundles of energy, and they need good care to flourish. But it can be pretty overwhelming for the parents to take care of these little munchkins.

The adults take care of everything from feeding the infant to cleaning after them. This is as intense as one can imagine it to be.

Understanding the child's mood and knowing their sleeping patterns is a task to accomplish. Indeed, it turns out to be a great responsibility on the shoulders of the parents.

The most beautiful feeling of being a parent can turn cumbersome for some. And the partnership between the mama and the father can make or break it.

If the father actively participates in taking care of the infant, it aids the mother, and the child gets equal attention and love. This turns out to be ideal for the growth of children.

This is exactly what is happening in the case of the little girl Mihla, who is fortunate enough to have a caring father. Bonisile Mgidi shared a thread on Twitter that went viral, and people enjoyed the list of things he learned being a parent for 160 days.

The story of Bonisile Mgidi and Mihla

The post will share the 10 lessons he learned from his daughter in the period of 160 days.

And it begins

His hilarious thread of tweets starts from here. Their photos are adorable and it is interesting to know all about the father's learnings.

The loving father

This picture of the father-daughter duo is absolutely all hearts.

The life of poop

It's like entering into the world of poop. One will be totally into it, from checking the color, quality, and timing to keeping proof of it.

His face says it all

Never go for expensive

Children grow out of their sizes really quickly. To avoid the hurt, don't indulge in expensive buying.

The pain in tears

The mood-changing little angles

Children with infectious smiles and innocence hold an upper edge to uplift your mood. No matter how bad your day went, they will make you smile as soon as they see you.

Back up yourself, parents

His other learning was that you couldn't be careful enough with kids. Keep ample extra clothing for you and your child, as these little ones can be all over the place.

The stubborn and disgusting barf stains

God save your clothes from the uninvited barfs.

Friend zoned by the pharmacists

Your directory must include all the pharmacies opened 24/7. You should be ready for any unforeseen thing too.

Books at rescue

It's not possible to know everything, so referring to online resources and books can help you. Parenting improves with time and maybe with a lot of reading.

The perfect handbook for childcare

The magic of music

A playlist for kids is ideal and saves plenty of tears. This father has made a list of songs on Apple Music to persuade her cranky little princess.

Who's the father no. 1?

Somewhere everyone feels this way about their baby

It's the best feeling for a parent to know that all your baby wants is 'you.' Although, the father thinks it's evil of him to feel happy about her child rejecting others.

Deep inside you know the truth

Keep a close eye

The most important work left for the parent is to monitor their baby. Mostly, these naughty little bundles will put exactly anything and everything before you know.

Hail god, they don't choke on it

A great deal of planning is required

Forget about deadlines and make possible changes in your work shifts, as you are up for a complete rollercoaster. Keep a nanny on standby, or just tag along with the little munchkin if your workplace has relaxed rules.

One happy family

Double up the space for baby pics

Bonus learning of the dad is to double the amount of space your phone or just get a new one as 128 GB is also not going to be sufficient. The infinite baby pics will make you run out of phone space pretty quickly.

Always out of space

Quiet savage

The OP's reply was a mic drop. He is in no need of a DNA test and nowhere near this thought.

The tale of daughter's name

The user commented and showed his amazement upon finding a similar name. The dad replied precisely about what her name meant and how it's a perfect combination.

What an episode!

The user confirmed that OP was bang on in explaining every bit. He remembered the time when his adorable daughter made him drink half a liter of water from the toilet.

The best blessing ever

Children are true gifts from heaven that we can ask for. Dad feels that her princess is a blessing.

Welcome to the 'new parents' club

It's an altogether different ride with parents having to keep a constant watch on kids every five minutes at night. The responsibility keeps increasing.

Take me back to my 'then newborn'

Because toddlers aren't easy to handle, she misses her baby's infant stage.

Title of the best dad goes to

The OP has bagged all the points of being the best doting father the little girl could ever have. Commenter feels him and calls him the second-best father after his own father.

Sleeping in intervals

The significant changes in the sleeping pattern can't be missed.

A great father with no excuses

The OP has surely impressed the readers for being a caring father. Always being there for her daughter.

Full points for active participation

Daddy has encircled his life around her adorable daughter, and it's so cute.

A big push to have a baby

Although she is nowhere near prepared but after the story of this daddy, it feels like having a baby soon.

The process worth living

Fatherhood gifts you a new perspective on life. It's a process to be experienced and enjoyed.

This beautiful post of the loving Bonisile Mgidi and his daughter Mihla makes everyone fall for the duo. Parenting is never easy, but this father's keen interest in his daughter's life is admirable.

It's not always a mother's responsibility to take care of their infants. In fact, Mihla's affectionate father proves it with his tweets.

Even if you are a newbie at giving childcare, this article is for you. Share it with new parents to provide them with a clear idea of 'what to expect while they are expecting.'
