12 Adorable Photos Of Dads Napping With Their Babies Will Give You All The Feels

Father’s Day is just around the corner. To celebrate, we’ve partnered with Sleep Number to round up some impossibly cute photos of sleeping babies with their snoozing dads. The bond-forming closeness they capture — not to mention the frequent exhaustion! — epitomizes those early months of parenthood.

Setting aside the cuteness of these sleepy-eyed duos: Parents, please do consider the risks of co-sleeping with infants. The American Academy of Pediatrics and other experts recommend placing babies to sleep on their backs during naps and at nighttime, among other guidelines.
