Quick Read DadPad®

Your back-to-basics baby guide

The Quick Read DadPad is a 34-page illustrated ‘back-to-basics’ guide for dads and dads-to-be.  The stiff, wipeable pages help make the resource sturdy and able to withstand the knocks and accidents of new family life.

With less text and more images than the original ‘essential guide’ DadPad, the Quick Read DadPad is intended to be a more accessible alternative for those dads who – for whatever reason – will find the text-heavy format of the former challenging.

Alternatively, it’s a great ‘quick start’ guide for dads who want to pick up the core skills of parenting quickly and efficiently.

  • Reduce your anxiety by getting involved and gaining in confidence
  • Learn how to create a strong bond and healthy attachment with your baby
  • Build stronger family relationships by sharing the load and learning how to parent together

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.

We recognise that not all dads will feel comfortable reading our original ‘essential guide’ DadPad.  We therefore worked with an Easy Read consultant to help us pare back the existing content into a format that would be more accessible.

We also engaged an illustrator to work with us to produce a set of clear illustrations to supplement the text, which aim to help you understand some of the key ‘how-tos’ of baby care.
