The primal behavior
-
The urge to nest is not a strange phenomenon in itself, it dates back to the time when the urge to nest had a real function. The environment for the baby had to be warm, clean and safe. Insects were chased away, material was collected to serve as a cradle and dirt was swept away. Above all, a safe delivery place was selected. It can be compared to a bird preparing the nest for its young.
Male nesting urge
-
The expectant father can also be infected by the urge to nest. This often manifests itself in renovating a room, finishing odd jobs around the house or thoroughly tidying up the shed. Men who previously brushed the house will now brush more often and more thoroughly.
Hustle and bustle and shopping
-
In prehistoric times, the pregnant woman had to gather materials that would be useful to the baby: soft leaves, feathers, sturdy branches. In our modern times, pregnant women still have that collecting rage in the form of purchases. Entrepreneurs are making good use of this by opening large department stores full of baby items. One store is even bigger than the other and offers an extensive range full of useful, but often also useless items for the baby.
