Men, did you feel helpless when you had your baby?

No i felt i did not have natural instincts on how to comfort and care for my first baby i have two grown up now well one is just turned 16 and she is me top to bottom personality wise scary but no i didnt feel it came naturally although one that did was i was the only one that could get her to sleep most nights for quite a while, what instinct that did come naturally to me was the strong feeling that i had to protect her from whatever in my life time tried to harm or hurt her in any form and that feeling still sits with me today but yes overall I did kinda feel helpless.
