We talked about:  

• How the pregnancies were for Stu and how he researched and prepared for each baby to come.  
• How Stu doesn’t have any real experience with children – with his first child he was always learning and it was all a bit surreal!  
• Having a second child and how this will change the dynamic from having a first baby.  
• The key role that dad / the partner that isn’t carrying the baby plays. He couldn’t breastfeed, but contributed in other ways working as part of a family team!  
• The thing that really stood out for Stu as a new dad?   
• Whether he met and connected with any other dads?  
• Stu’s experiences of having his first child during Covid.  
• Stu’s advice for a new dad.  
• How to handle any concerns and worries and the fact that everyone makes mistakes!
