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!
