For Fathers

Conscious Fathering

Conscious Fathering is a workshop for new and expectant fathers.  New fathers can learn the five basics needs of a newborn infant - to be fed, to burp, to be changed, to sleep and to cry.  Fathers have an opportunity to practice picking up and holding a baby, changing the baby and how to hold the baby for feeding and burping on realistic, life sized dolls.
