DadPad – a free app for Haringey dads
DadPad is a free resource for new dads and dads-to-be in Haringey.
It is packed with relevant information, and details on local support groups and service providers.
Its aim is to provide new fathers with guidance on how to develop the mindset, confidence and practical skills needed to meet their babies’ physical and emotional needs.
Building a strong attachment will help dads to better enjoy their new role. It will also contribute towards positive long-term social, health and educational outcomes for their babies.
The app also provides dads with guidance on how to support and seek help (when needed) for their partners and themselves as they adjust to their new roles, and cope with the physical and emotional strains that this can place on individuals and relationships.
The app covers topics like:
- 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
