S2. 5. Adapting to life with a baby
Tue Dec 09 2025
In this final episode, Croydon dads Dom, Tristan and Mike talk about how life changes when a baby arrives, and how easy it is to lose sight of your own wellbeing. They reflect on the reality that you can’t be your best self for your partner or your children if you’re not looking after yourself, even though finding the time to do that can feel impossible. The dads discuss the importance of talking to friends and family and having the courage to ask for help, something that doesn’t always come naturally to men. They explore how neglecting your own wellbeing can affect those around you, and how routines, structure, and honest communication can help prevent resentment and bring balance back to family life. Watch, share, and join the conversation about how dads can care for themselves while caring for everyone else.
