Being Dad!

We talked about:  

  • How the pregnancies were for Stu and how he researched and prepared for each baby to come.  
  • How Stu doesn’t have any real experience with children – with his first child he was always learning and it was all a bit surreal!  
  • Having a second child and how this will change the dynamic from having a first baby.  
  • The key role that dad / the partner that isn’t carrying the baby plays. He couldn’t breastfeed, but contributed in other ways working as part of a family team!  
  • The thing that really stood out for Stu as a new dad?   
  • Whether he met and connected with any other dads?  
  • Stu’s experiences of having his first child during Covid.  
  • Stu’s advice for a new dad.  
  • How to handle any concerns and worries and the fact that everyone makes mistakes!

About the Podcast

Newborn to Teen and Everything in Between
Your go-to for advice on how to communicate with the children in your life. Brought to you by family consultancy Bespoke Family, enabling families to thrive
Newborn to Teen and Everything Inbetween - it does exactly what it says on the tin! Join childcare experts Becks and Claire for practical advice about how to communicate with children, at all ages.
There can be a lot of pressure to 'get it right' when it comes to children, which can be quite daunting! Whether you’re a parent, a teacher, TA or childcare worker, or just looking to gain a better understanding of the world through a child’s eyes, Becks and Claire have 25 years of childcare experience to share with you. Listen for reassurance and support to help you navigate tricky conversations, challenging behaviour, complex emotions, and the general day to day pressures of raising and working with children.
This is a judgement-free zone - you won't find a one-size-fits-all rule book here! The perfect parent doesn't exist, but in their family consultancy business Bespoke Family, Becks and Claire believe that a child centred approach which recognises and respects individuality is the best way to enable families to thrive. Join Becks and Claire for accessible, light-hearted and well researched advice and guidance on the various ways we can tackle the ups and downs of life with children (they've got a great sense of humour too, so if you love a laugh you're in great company!)
