Why do I need this?

As a new dad, it’s common to feel excited – but also left out, unsure or overwhelmed. The team at DadPad recognise the importance – to the whole family – of providing you with bespoke information on the practical skills and essentials that you will need to become more confident in your new role. This will help you to not only feel included and involved as a parent, but also to become an active and engaged co-parent, alongside your baby’s mum.

As an ally to your partner, you’ll be best placed (and now sufficiently well-informed) to be able to spot any potential issues within your family unit, and to know the steps to take to resolve these. Knowledge of the roles played by health professionals will also help you feel confident to seek and welcome their advice and support when necessary.

Who is the DadPad for?

The DadPad is for all fathers who want to give their baby the very best start in life. Whether you are about to become a first-time dad, or want to ensure that you can still cover all the bases with a new addition to the family, the DadPad is the low-cost, high-value resource that you will want to have within arm’s reach at all times.

When should DadPad be used?

The DadPad is best utilised as early as possible during pregnancy, around birth and beyond, as it provides guidance relating to babies and children up to the age of two years. It’s particularly useful to have during paternity leave.
