Event Phone: 804-288-3431

About Boot Camp for New Dads

New babies don’t come with owners’ manuals. Crying babies, diaper changing, and understanding mom’s emotions 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
• How to handle a constant barrage of conflicting advice
