Special Mag for New Dads
Plans are afoot to produce a free special edition of Father & Child for fathers of newborns, to be distributed through hospitals.
This would be the second such edition: the first had been produced in the year 2000 and distributed through Christchurch and Canterbury hospitals only. The Father & Child editorial team is hoping to achieve wider coverage this time around.
The New Dads Edition will cover many of the topics of the 2000 publication, including breastfeeding, birth stories and postnatal depression. New features will include some special situations such as fathers not in a relationship with the mother of the child, and stories about the ‘homecoming’ with the baby.
