Father figure: 8 daddy types that any proud new papa could be

There's really no telling just what new fatherhood will bring out in a man. From helicopter dads to the all-work-no-play papas, these are the father figures we’ve seen the most. Where does your baby's daddy fit in the list?

1. The Helicopter Dad
Your guy hovers – and hovers hard – when it comes to doctor appointments, dirty diapers (and what’s inside them), and check-ins with the nanny. It’s not that he doesn’t trust you; it’s just that he’s taking this whole daddy role seriously. Very seriously. He’s got a type-A personality and he doesn’t want any mistakes on his watch.
