Heading to the big smoke today for the APPG on Fatherhood. It’s such a big deal to have this kind of group coming together to put fatherhood on the agenda. It brings dads to the table and sparks meaningful conversations that can lead to real change.

Think baby talk is just for mums?.Nope. Dads, your voice is powerful. Every silly sound, every “good morning!”, every story or song—.you’re building your baby’s brain . Talking, playing, singing = bonding + early language skills. Start early. Talk often. You make a difference.

✅ Look for clenched fists = hunger.✅ Turning head away = overstimulated.✅ Wriggling or arching back = discomfort.And lots more…. The more you tune in, the more confident you’ll feel. Trust your instincts — you’ve got this, Dad.

Dads, did you know your baby’s been talking to you since day one?.Crying isn’t the only way they communicate! From facial expressions to body movements, your baby’s got a whole language - and you can learn it. #BabyCommunication #DadLife #BabyCues #BondWithBaby #BabyBodyLanguage
