Dad Mode: A Postpartum Guide for New & Expecting Fathers
Becoming a dad is like being handed the biggest promotion of your life with zero training, endless overtime, and the cutest boss you’ll ever meet. One moment you’re soaking up newborn snuggles, and the next you’re googling how to swaddle without losing your mind. It’s completely normal to feel stretched thin as you try to support your partner, bond with your newborn, and still take care of yourself.
