A 4 week, midwife-led course for expectant dads with lots of discussion, practical advice and workshop activities
This is an invaluable practical course for men who would like to build their confidence around early parenting skills. The main topics are detailed below but the sessions will be tailored to the dads-to-be attending and they will be asked what they want and do not want to be covered.
“For me the entire course was a lifeline. Previously I wasn’t sure even which questions to ask or where to look for a RELIABLE and informed answer.” Dad from course October 2011
“Entirely excellent. Always came out of the sessions feeling very energized…This was good preparation not to rely too much on the advise by ‘experienced’ parents who happen to know things about (their) kids.” Dad from course January 2012
