There aren't enough stories or experiences from a fathers perspective available for dads these days to have an idea of what to expect or what to do in certain stages of parenthood. That's why we decided to share what we could with the Dad Life podcast. Join us, Sam and Len, as we embark upon our own fatherhood journeys. We document our time from our partners being pregnant, to birth and then monthly updates as our little ones grow up and our families get larger. There is of course advice, but it's from a place of trial and error, we make the mistakes so you don't have to. So please, grab a drink, tune in and we hope we can help other dads on their fatherhood journeys.
Long days, longer nights, very little sleep but some fairly memorable milestones come during those first 12 weeks. Sam and Len discuss the somewhat Groundhog Day routine that is formed during those first few months, the non-negotiable baby equipment that become a must and also the overlooked considerations that probably weren’t front of mind considerations until you really need to make sure you have considered them. All in a days fathering. Three months done... a lifetime to go.

The 1st Month
Ask any parent and they will tell you... that first month is so very memorable but at the same time it's a sleep deprived blur.
Sam and Len discuss their hazy memories of that first month with Chaz and Alfie. Settling techniques, sleep patterns, bonding with your baby and the uncontrollable curve balls that can be thrown your way at any time.

Home time
"OK... You can take your baby home now." This week, Sam and Len discuss leaving the hospital and coming home with their newest housemates and the countless new experiences that follow in those first few days. From the most cautious car trip you'll ever take, to the joys of cluster feeding and of course the subtle art of burritoing (swaddling).
If you feel like it please spread the word of Dad Life, share us with your mates or other expecting parents.
Happy listening!
Peace and love.

Birth
This week, Sam and Len discuss their birth stories. No one can prepare you for the experience of birth, everybody has their own experience, but during this episode the boys try to give you any tips that they found to assist you partner in the best way possible. Things like, dressing up the hospital room to feel more like home and curating your own birth playlist is essential.
