Boot Camp For Dads?
 

Hiya, The Birth Center here in Yakima is having a Boot Camp for New Dads.
It is a All male class. I was wondering if any one out there have heard of
this or have gone to it? How was it? This is a 3 hr class. Can anyone
give any feed back from them. How did they like it? Thanks for the input.

My DH didn't go to one of these, but I've seen articles in the local paper
about them. The guys they interviewed seem to think it was worthwhile. I
figure, the more daddy buddies you can meet, the better. :-)

Well, we had a homebirth, and I didn't do anything like this. I DID go to
ALL the midwife appointments.

My husband went to one. It was quite a bit smaller than they usually
are, but the idea is to give dads hands-on and one-to-one peer guidance
about babycare, wife care, coming changes, etc. He liked it and would
recommend it, especially for someone who really has no experience with
infants, as many men really don't.

Mark, take a look at http://www.newdads.com/. You learn all sorts of neat
stuff, like how to teach your nine-month-old daughter to play golf. :)


What a great site! Thanks for posting it!

I didn't attend one, but only because there were none offered anywhere
near
home. We did take the full set of classes, though, prenatal, infant care,
breastfeeding, relaxation,..... and found them all to be worthwhile.
