Adult platypuses do not stay with their young after they are born. Female platypuses care for their eggs by incubating them in a burrow and nursing the hatchlings for a short period. Once the young are weaned, they become independent and leave the burrow to fend for themselves. Male platypuses do not participate in parenting duties at all.
