New dads will feel excited, but may also feel left out, unsure and overwhelmed.  The DadPad® can help.

Developed with the NHS, the DadPad® gives new dads and dads-to-be the knowledge and practical skills needed to support themselves and their partner, so that babies get the best possible start in life.

The DadPad® app is available for free download across Torbay.  Containing information on ‘baby basics’ – such as nappy changing, crying, sleep, feeding, holding and cleaning – there’s also essential details on looking after your own and baby’s mum’s mental health during this challenging time.  There’s also a large section listing local and national support groups, services and organisations relevant to new families.

For more information on DadPad®, please speak to your Midwife or Health Visitor.
