You either are, or are going to be, a dad! Throughout these top tips we will use the term ‘Dad’. We know that families come in all shapes and sizes. These top tips will be helpful for grandads, uncles, stepdads, or any male caring for a child.
We also use the term ‘your partner’ to refer to the parent who is giving birth. We know this might not be someone you are in a romantic relationship with.
This information is to support dads caring for a baby/child. There are lots of practical tips and places you can go for support if you need anything more. We want you to know you are not on your own; Newcastle is here for you!
We want to support you in feeling confident and making the most of your journey as a father or male carer.
