Why I made this

I wanted to make Kid Ready after my own journey to becoming a dad. I’m glad I didn’t do it straight away.

Since becoming a dad, in my work as a public health and wellbeing researcher, I have had the opportunity to interview hundreds of dads and mums, and well over a hundred professionals, about the parental journey, infant feeding, perinatal mental health and the parent-baby bond. It’s allowed me to understand what being Kid Ready means not just through my own eyes but also through the eyes of other dads and mums, and what professionals feel is most important.

I put this together to be the resource I wished I had. I wanted it to be low-pressure, clear and focused on the practical steps I should have taken.

I hope this serves you in your own journey.
