Becoming a parent is an incredible and rewarding experience, but what about the men who are preparing to be parents? Dad influencer Olly Huddlestone, father of three daughters, shares his top five tips for first-time dads.
1) Make the most of paternity leave
Use your paternity leave to bond with your baby and help your partner. It goes by quickly, so make the most of this special time.
2) Don’t panic
Being a new dad can be overwhelming, but try not to panic. Remember that you’re not alone in this journey.
3) Find time to do things as a couple
Even with a newborn, it’s important to make time for each other. Find small moments to relax and have a conversation that doesn’t revolve around parenting.
4) Don’t compare yourself to others
Every parent has their own unique journey. Avoid comparing yourself to others and focus on your own child’s development and your experience as a father.
5) Make the most of sleep while you can
Sleep becomes a precious commodity when you have a baby, so enjoy your lie-ins while you still can.
