Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) was been left holding the baby as Rebecca White (Emily Head) is still in a coma after last week's crash.

Praying that Rebecca will wake up soon., Robert tried his best to look after his son Seb.

But while he seemed to cope, fans couldn't help but notice he was making some basic parenting mistakes.

    The new dad was seen holding the newborn in an awkward position with no top on, causing viewers to beg him to learn how to carry him properly.

    One posted: "Somebody should have showed Robert how to hold a baby."

    Another added: "I know Robert has been struggling a bit, but that's NOT what's meant by breastfeeding mate."
