This is fantastic!  I know so many friends who's husbands struggle with the fact they don't get the chance to have more one on one time with their newborns.  Paternity leave is still a fairly new thing and alot of companies don't offer it.  Fortunately Dove is stepping in to offer some help!

Dove is offering $5,000 for new dads who pledge to take their full-time paternity leave in an effort to help new fathers who don't have access to paid time off for the birth of their children. Dove announced they are committing $1 million to the cause!

Dove was also asking new dads to share the hashtag #PaternityLeavePledge on social media in an effort to change the system and culture surrounding paternity leave in the U.S.
