Back in the day - my day - when I was growing up, Dads' key roles were to be the family's provider (i.e bringing home the bacon), the protector (warding off dangers) and the main disciplinarian. Mums used to stay at home to 'raise the children and run the household'.

Gosh, I can remember the 'just wait until your father comes home' speech, which used to put the fear of whatsis-name into my siblings and I. And, true to her word, Mum would never forget, and once having settled Dad in with his nice hot cup of tea and a biccie would then proceed with 'do you know what (name omitted, for obvious reasons) got up to today? I wish you would talk to her'. And, much to Mum's frustration, Dad would say 'hello dear, how are you today?'.



In recent years there is a growing recognition of the importance of hands-on fathers, to families. Societal trends, like increased levels of employment for mothers of young children and the recognition of the importance of the father-child relationship, have given more prominence to the contribution that fathers make to family life.

Becoming a Dad can be a daunting experience, but with the current trend of fathers wanting to be more involved in everything, Fantastic futures , together with That Pizza Guy , are proudly hosting Beer and Bubs, the childbirth education for Dads, on the Sunshine Coast. What a fabulous idea! Dads can crack open a cold one, enjoy a meal and get ready for their fatherhood adventure with a memorable and empowering experience.



The Beer and Bubs program is specifically designed for first-time fathers who want to learn the ins and outs of childbirth, parenting and so much more. It's also perfect for a brush-up when it's been a long time since the birth of the last child. The Beer and Bubs classes are run in local pubs in most major cities and in some regional areas too, throughout Australia.

Pippa, from Fantastic futures, is an experienced educator, doula* and mum of four, and will be guiding prospective dads through the parenting process. From understanding what happens during labour and birth to changing nappies, feeding and soothing your newborn, dads will be shown it all. After the baby arrives, dad will even learn how to get involved to take care of their partners and themselves, during this transition period of having an extra little person in the home.



Beer and Bubs classes are super interactive, with participants permitted to ask all the needed questions, share concerns and connect with other dads-to-be. And, of course dads will also have the opportunity to enjoy a cold one (or a non-alcoholic drink), plus a meal whilst learning.

Your hosts believe that every dad deserves the opportunity to be fully prepared for the arrival of their little one, without breaking the bank, hence, the affordable Beer and Bubs session.



The ticket price of $129 includes your meal from a set menu plus the childbirth education class only. Beverages are for participant's own expense. General Admission Tickets may be pre-purchased online here.

Don't let the fear of the unknown hold you back from being the best dad you can possibly be, sign up today for Beer and Bubs and be prepared to cheers your new role as a dad - it's promising to be awesome!


For those, like me, who may not know and thanks to google.com - 'A doula is a trained, non-medical companion who assists a woman before, during and after childbirth*.'
