Boot Camp for Dads is designed and led by fathers to give expectant and new dads essential hands-on skills for caring for a new baby.

Check out the videos below, starring Boot Camp alums Josh Hyman and Dan Altano, for examples of techniques you’ll learn in this workshop, which include holding, burping, changing, swaddling and comforting crying babies.

In Boot Camp for Dads you’ll also discuss big issues that arise for new parents, like being supportive of your partner, navigating work (and sleep!) with an infant, developing a parenting partnership, managing relatives and more.

Boot Camp for Dads is presented by NYC Dads Group, a diverse and growing community of fathers who take an active role in our children’s lives. NYC Dads Group seeks to bring fathers together in person and online as they redefine what it means to be a dad in the 21st century.

As one of the largest physical groups of dads in the United States, NYC Dads Group has been featured in local and national media including The Huffington Post, The New York Times, New York Family, GQ, Vice and many others.
