Dads and male carers, can't always make it to every pregnancy or post-birth appointment? Wondering what gets discussed? We have you covered with all the key information.
After your baby is born and throughout their childhood, there's loads of support available for you at your Best Start in Life Family Hub.
Throughout these pages 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.
All family members are welcome at our Best Start in Life Family Hubs - and yes, dads and male carers, that means you too! To find your nearest hub click here.
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.
If you have any questions, you can contact your health visiting team Monday-Friday 8.30-4pm on 0191 282 3319 or access your local family hub.
