A Quick Word From Aidan

You don’t have to work all of this out on your own.

I’m Aidan, founder of The Modern Fatherhood Club and a dad of two. Thanks for downloading The Dad Guide.

I know how easy it is to enter fatherhood wanting to get everything right, while still feeling unsure about where you fit, what your partner needs from you and how to make sense of the pressure you’re carrying yourself.

That is exactly why this guide exists.

It isn’t about turning you into an expert overnight. It is about helping you get involved, ask better questions, support your partner and make more of the early days with your baby.

Read it in the way that works for you. Start with one section. Come back when another question appears. Use it as a reference rather than something you need to finish in one sitting.

You don’t have to read it all today.

Choose the part that helps you most right now and come back to the rest when you need it.

01

Start With What Matters Now

Feeding, sleep, nappies, supporting your partner or simply understanding what your role can look like — begin where the question already exists.

02

Use The Preparation Plan

If your baby hasn’t arrived yet, head to the five-point preparation plan on PDF page 80 and use it to start conversations before the pressure arrives.

03

Keep The Cheat Sheet Close

The early-weeks cheat sheet is on PDF pages 90–91. Keep it somewhere easy to return to when sleep is short and your head is full.

Want To Go Further?

The newborn tasks are only part of becoming a dad.

The Dad Guide gives you a practical introduction to those first weeks. But fatherhood also changes your identity, your relationship, your routines, your work and the pressure you carry.

The Ultimate New Dad Toolkit goes further into those realities and gives you more practical preparation for the parts of fatherhood most dads are still expected to figure out as they go.
