Advice for New Dads
We talk a lot about the baby and the new mum but what about the new dad he seems to get forgotton about, well not with us he doesn’t. The man in your life has just been through the same nine months that you have – we know ladies that it was you suffering ( we don’t want to get you all angry or upset! ) but your other half had to adjust to a totally new women in his life and now a baby – this is a huge adjustment for anyone to take in.
The hormones all over the place with you and then afterwards maybe the baby blues as they call them – life is wonderful and yet complicated at the same time at the moment.
So remember to spare a thought for your other half – he has just become a dad for the first time or maybe a second if he is really lucky.
It is always a good idea to share the duties of parenting if you can – you don’t have to do everything you know. He can change a nappy or feed baby or cradle them off to sleep if he is this way enclined.
Some men will have nothing to do with changing a nappy it all depends on what sort of partner you have.

Advice for New Dads
Everyone thinks about the mother to be and of course the new baby, which is only right, but everyone seems to leave poor old dad out. The guy has done his job, and for nine months he get’s left to try and cope with the enourmous amount of changes going on in everyones life and all the major expenses as well.
Having a baby is happening to two people – and the man often get’s left out in our opinion. Because the lady is going through all the different stages with the massive upheavel to her body, and the mood swings, and as things grow and develop the uncomfortable lump in the front that kicks through the night and stops her getting a good night’s sleep everyone tends to forget that this happening to the guy as well.
Plus his wallet is taking a huge hit. Now we would be the first as in our company it is mostly women that work here for obvious reasons – we totally sympathise with any women going through pregnancy. Some mothers to be are lucky enough to sail through their time – but most of us lesser mortals find it quite a tedious, tiring and somethines iggling time. We all usually can’t wait for the baby to be born and get it all over and done with. They say if a mna carried a baby there would only be one to every family and we all agree on that one.
But we have huge respect for the Dad to be. This is amassive change to everyone’s lives and his world will never be the same again. Instead of being a single man in the world he will have gone to either having a partner or getting married and now a family to support and guide.
A daughter will be a daughter for the rest of their lives and a son will need his dad to teach him everything about kicking a ball about and riding a bike and of course dating girls etc. until he takes him a wife – or so the saying goes.
So with us to all Dad’s to be we are on your side as well as the womens and we totally support you in your efforts along the way.
More power to the Men that’s what we say!!

Advice for New Dads
When a couple are expecting most people’s thoughts turn to the women who is pregnant. Now although we totally get that, no one bothers to give any thought to the other person involved in this – the man.
It takes too – remember….
Her hormones are all over the place, and usually the guy doesn’t have a clue what to do, one minute she is weepy and the next angry and the next possibly feeling unwell, so as her loving other the man has a difficult role to play.
He may well have been to work and had a rough day himself and when he comes home he hasn’t the slightest idea what to expect or quite possibly how to handle it.
When the birth and the baby come along it is just as new and wonderful to him as it is to her, plus he is expected to pay for everything and to understand and be there for now both her and the baby – no-one could possibly say that being the significant other half is easy.
Having a baby is the most wonderful thing in the world, but especially if this is your first it can be a lovely but trying time, and a new road for both of you to try and negotiate.

Advice for Dads
This section is only for Dads. Everyone thinks about the mum to be or the new mum and we all forget just how important the dad is. Well not with us….
If your partner or wife is expecting then you are probably in the firing line lads for all the hormones that are going all over the place. Don’t get caught ever saying those immortal words ” when the baby comes along it’s not going to change us is it?” . Bad idea…
Not only do you not know or understand your other half’s mood swings and food cravings, tempers and tears. Her physical appearance is going to take a little change, but your pocket is going to be hit hard as well.
This is a wonderful and confusing time to say the least.
You probably won’t know the right things to do or say, but all men feel this way – you are all in the same boat.
When your little one comes into the world she will calm down – promise! and everything will be worth it. When you hold in your arms for the first time the most beautiful human being in the world your baby, the human being you created with the person you love the most in the world you will see it will be worth it….
As regards the expense, we cannot help you with this problem. Fact babies cost money, and then when they grow up children cost money, and they will continue to do so for the rest of their lives, but the love you will get back and fun and happy times make up for the big dent in your wallet.
The advice we would give to impending dads or new dads is be patient, it will all fall into place given time.
As for you, you have no one to lean on except hopefully a dad of your own, or a brother or mother or sister or other family member. Everyone will give you lots of advice, but first hand knowledge just can’t be beaten.
Have fun with your little one, enjoy the precious moments, you will find they grow up so fast – that is the only advice we can give you.
