papa! *lifts up a torn care bear* bedtime had an owies!

❝ Oh dear, ❞

Alfred gently takes the bear, cradling it in his arms.

❝ Not to worry, pup. Bedtime bear is in the best of care. ❞

You follow Alfred to an armchair and sit next to him. He dutifully mends the bear, with a bandaid and a kiss for good measure. He hands it back to you.

❝ There you are, darling. Now off to bed, you two.❞

❝ Oh dear, I seemed to have missed the day. But thank you so much, darling! I appreciate all the little ones celebrating their papas ♡ ❞

[poppaworth]

hi hi! I baby regress, and I wanna know, how would you take care of babies? What baby supplies would you use? (Btw I wuv Alfred he such a sweet papa! 💜)

❝ Oh, a tiny one I see! The particulars of my caregiving are dependent on the little.

I enjoy lots of play, tummy time and the like. If I'm able, I like to rock and carry my littles. I'm open to cuddles when little ones need them, and I just love to cook for the children.

I have quite a few favorites when it comes to baby supplies! I've always been partial to bottles, I know many nice recipes for formula. I find that littles enjoy soft lovies, and rattles to keep them entertained. Of course, if a little one needs a nappy I'll have all of the proper supplies. ❞

Hullo!!

May i ask when was the first time you really took care of a little? Or if bruce had been your first little or something similar sort!

Thank you in advanced have a good one!

❝ Bruce was my first little one. He started regressing quite young, shortly after his parents passed, but we couldn't put a name to it until more recently. We've learned a lot together. I couldn't ask for a sweeter little boy. ❞

[poppaworth]

hi, Mr. Pennyworth! I don't suppose you have cared for pet regressors/dreamers before? .w.

❝ Of course, little one! My Bruce pet regresses from time to time (a husky, quite a handful) and of course dear Selina can be a little kitty. Between the two of them I have quite a bit of experience with pets!❞

I haven't done one of these in a while but this was in my drafts: its cg alfred time babey. Three cheers for our fictional grandpa.

Wow Alfred how come DC let's you adopt (checks notes) ALL the babies

If someone regresses he knows about it. Don't ask how he just knows

And he WILL start subtly babying them. Most heroes are stubborn af and struggle to accept even butler help, but Alfred has a talent for easing them into it. Come up to Wayne Manor feeling stressed and 2 hours later you're surrounded by blankets on your second plate of cookies. How'd you get there? Nobody knows

Subsequently there's like a lot of heroes who only accept help from Alfred, especially regression related help. The original Justice League come to mind, he eventually made a point of checking in on them all once he realized how Pointedly Fatherless they all were. They may be too proud to tell their team they're struggling, but no ones too stubborn for Alfred. The doors always open for them and they do use it, liberally.

Like I mentioned before, Diana, Clark, J'onn, John, Shayera, and Wally are all very much adopted by him, and are the ones he cares for the most.

Alf loves having the league around when they're small. Parenting is his passion and the more the merrier, especially when the objective is to keep the stakes low and relaxed. Raising his kids often involves more world ending threats than he'd like, so he always welcomes a respite where he can just coddle them.

And coddle them he does, kiddies under Alfred's watch are the definition of spoiled materially speaking. He is always there for whatever they need, and he takes great pride in his attention to detail. He knows just what shows everyone likes, their favorite pajamas, their stuffies names, their go to treats - everything they want, he will provide

Behavior wise though, Alfred keeps thing just as in line as usual. He's certainly not hard on anyone, but he is an authority for sure. He loves to keep a schedule, and he finds it often necessary for little ones who are used to being in a survival frame of mind. Rules and guidelines always brought him a lot of comfort, and he hopes to bring the same grounding affect those he watches over. Though of course, he's nowhere near immune to puppy dog eyes.

He tries to be in tune with everyone's emotions and help them work through big feelings. He himself struggles with Alexithymia and mild emotion in general, but he's learned strategies to pick apart feelings and deal with them. He knows a lot of therapy techniques from dealing with Bruce, and teaches them whenever he can

He uses a lot of strategies from raising Bruce with regressors, especially those who are autistic. He knows how to best communicate without words, how to figure out what parts of the environment are stressful, and how to keep a space not over or under stimulating. They have lots of tools like headphones, eyewear, communication cards, etc.

Despite being usually formal, something about having regressors around flips a switch on the affection meter. Suddenly everyone is only referred to by sweet nicknames. And he's just general less butler more dad. He's open to snuggles if they're requested.

He's very patient. Takes all the time his little ones need to collect themselves. Most if not all regressors in his care find him profoundly calming, even while not in the headspace. But holding their hands and encouraging them softly definitely does help.

He loves making little outfits for his regressors, especially when they're based on clothes they miss from their childhoods. The look on their face when he recreates their favorite shirts or jammies is pure dopamine, and they look so sweet in their cute little outfits.

Alfred loves to create games and structured activities, one of his favorite things to do is create mysteries for the little league to solve!!

He's welcoming to any nicknames - Alfie, Bubba, Dada, Mr. Pennyworth - but he's especially partial to "uncle alfie". It makes him melt.
