Last Minute Father's Day Gifts for New Dads

Cara Terreri, LCCE, CD(DONA)

Last minute Father's Day gift for the new dad in your life? No problem. There are plenty of ideas, from things that help to things that inspire, and none of which require searching all over town or the internet.

Despite what many of us are led to believe based on advertising, books, and media, new dads have their own unique experience in pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood that is important and deserving of support and attention. A thoughtful gift can help show the new dad in your life that you "see" him and support this special new journey.
