The DadPad app

Help for new dads to enjoy their babies and feel more confident about fatherhood

The DadPad app is a useful resource before baby arrives and after baby is born, and is designed to be used as a quick, on-the-go reference tool, allowing new dads to enjoy their babies and feel more confident about fatherhood.

Written by health professionals, DadPad is already up and running in other areas of the UK, and each area has content edited and amended to be bespoke to local needs, including details of nearby support groups and services.

The app covers topics such as:

  • feeding, holding, changing and cleaning your baby
  • surviving without sleep and coping with crying
  • getting to know your baby
  • home safety and first aid
  • looking after yourself and supporting your partner
