New dads: 10 tips for making a great start to fatherhood

Life as a new dad

Becoming a dad will probably be one of the biggest events of your life.

Making the most of any time you have off work to get to know your baby is a great way to start your life as a dad. You might also be tempted to get a few things done around the house. In the longer term, though, there’s a bigger pay-off for using this time to begin your relationship with your child.

But if you’re going through the intense emotions – not to mention lack of sleep – that often come with a new baby, you might be wondering where to start and what to do. You might even be thinking your partner has it all covered, and feeling unsure of what’s left for you to do.
