Tips for New Dads: Building Connection and Confidence in Birth and Parenting with Dr. Jay Warren

In today’s show I welcome Dr. Jay Warren, a prenatal and pediatric chiropractor deeply passionate about families and especially new dads. I was double lucky to be his Hypnobirthing childbirth educator, and the doula for the birth of his son. Dr. Jay runs local dad groups, has created several courses, from prenatal bonding to what new dads need to know through the first year of parenting. Dr. Jay also hosts (2) podcasts: Healthy Births, Happy Babies and The Dadhood Journey. I asked Dr. Jay to share how education and the birth of his son shifted his entire chiropractic practice to what it is today.

Dr. Jay shares his personal birth story, the pivotal role of fathers in the birth process, and the benefits of active fatherhood. We also discuss the unique challenges fathers face in connecting with their newborns and emphasize the importance of educating and involving dads from pregnancy through to the early months of parenting. Dr. Jay gives tips on how to connect with your baby and take on the new role of being an engaged father. 

Dr. Jay wants to support you with all of these unknowns. He does coaching and has a Facebook Group for you to connect with new and seasoned dads.
