The Dad Brain Playbook

Build your caregiving muscles

You’re not the sidekick. Research suggests that fathers’ brains adapt to parenting too, and hands-on care is part of how. This short, punchy guide gives you simple things to do every week, an honest look at how dads struggle (it often doesn’t look like crying), and a daily check-in that takes under two minutes.

What's Inside:

• The new science of fatherhood, in plain language
• A hands-on bonding checklist: skin-to-skin, babywearing, solo care windows
• A self-check for stress, irritability, and burnout
• A 7-day stress-regulation log
• Calming tools for when the baby won’t stop crying, plus helplines
