Chris Bumstead Enters “Dad Mode” as He Awaits Newest Member of Family

Chris Bumstead is only weeks away from becoming a new dad and the fitness world simply cannot wait for the arrival of the new baby. After he talked about his favorite book during childhood that he plans to pass on to his baby girl, CBum has started to make the house more welcoming for Baby Bum. His wife’s new Instagram story showed a sneak peek into his house.

The five time Mr. Olympia in Classic Physique, Chris Bumstead had announced his wife’s pregnancy around the time when he was eyeing his 5th Mr. Olympia title. Now that he has achieved that, the other milestone awaits him. But much like his passion for bodybuilding, he is also training for his child by reading books as well as setting up new furniture just for the baby.

Chris Bumstead builds a new nursery

Chris Bumstead’s wife, Courtney King recently shared a post where she captured a scene from their living room. Bumstead was on the floor trying to build a cradle for their upcoming baby. With much dedication and determination, the bodybuilding hunk was seen building his child’s nursery while playing the song “There Was John” by Lilli Cooper and Santino Fontana.

In the caption of the story, Courtney King emphasized how Bumstead is already showing off his dad skills and started taking responsibility before the baby’s arrival. She wrote, “Full dad mode for this weekend for Chris.” She also added that he was setting up the nursery by saying, “He’s setting up our @babyletto nursery.”

Chris Bumstead has discovered the necessity of giving babies some space of their own.

Bumstead wants his baby to be self-reliant

In one of his videos, Bumstead revealed that he plans to leave his baby to cry after a few months so that she becomes self-reliant. He reflected, “When they cry you just leave them alone to cry. So they self-soothe, and then they learn so that they don’t they’re not reliant on you coming to get them every time they cry.”

He further explained the reason behind such thoughts. Bumstead stated that in western society, people are always pushed to become independent and that is a good way to start. He said, “We live in a Western society that enforces way too much like independence and like no social culture community. So instead what I feel like I want to do with Courtney is giving the baby space and infant space consistently just to feel whatever emotion they’re in.”
