About Boot Camp for New Dads
New babies do not come with owners' manuals. Crying babies, diaper changing, and dealing with mom are new experiences for first-time fathers. Spend a morning with other first-time dads who provide practical tips and perspectives by bringing their own babies -- and will leave you confident in your own ability to be a great dad. Topics include:
-
Caring for babies, particularly when they are crying
-
Caring for moms, particularly when they are crying
-
How to change a diaper
-
Working a regular week on no sleep
-
Financing a family
-
Following constant barrage of conflicting advice
