Father's Ed

Things you need and things you don't

Let's be honest. You need a lot of things for a new baby, but there are plenty of things you can do without. We talk about the things we couldn't have done without and some of the things we didn't bother with. Then we interview Andrew Carr, founder of Bebello [https://bebello.club/]. They make a bottle washer, dryer and steriliser that will give you back previous time.

Parenting inequality: when mums are the default

In this episode we wonder why dads are still treated like secondary carers in the workplace, healthcare and education, and explore instances where we've experienced this ourselves. Then we talk to Alex Lloyd Hunter from The Dad Shift about their paternity leave campaign and the upcoming Dad Strike.

What dads need to know about baby sleep

Sleep - or the lack of it - is one of the biggest challenges new parents face, and it hits hard in the early months. In this episode, we dig into the science, stress, and strategies around baby and child sleep. Paul and Chris share some hard-earned truths from the trenches, then sit down with Dr. Natalie Barnett, VP of Clinical Research at Nanit, to break down what’s normal, what’s not, and how dads can better support their families (and themselves) through the long nights and early mornings.

Paternity leave, yes please. Paternity pay? No way

Paternity leave has been in the news this week because it's being made a day one right via the Employment Right Bill. But paternity pay isn't receiving the same status. We talk to Jeremy Davies from the Fatherhood Institute about the weaknesses of the current system and what a fairer one would like like. Sign up to our free Father's Ed platform.
