Abstract
This study focuses on analysis and comparison of the following two points: To expand the basic data and views of men through the support of "Parental Power Growth" and to study differences in techniques in handling baby's crying, differences in interpersonal emotion and images of baby's crying between primiparous and multiparous mothers and fathers during pregnancy. It was found that primiparous mothers felt more emotional conflict towards their babies than multiparous and also primiparous mothers tried to avoid their babies when they cried. Primiparous fathers felt more emotional conflict towards their babies than did mothers. Multiparous fathers showed higher conflict in both interpersonal emotion and images towards their babies than did mothers. Moreover their feeling of closeness towards their babies was lower. Not many primioarous mothers and fathers answered that the reason why babies cry is that they want us to hug them. Opportunities to be with babies and support for techniques in handling baby's crying are necessary not only for mothers but also for fathers.
