Editor's Notes
- WE say “of course they are important.” But specifically? It’s obvious what mums do, how essential they are to the well-being and development of their child. Given that, how important are the men? Aren’t they really the ones who give mum a break, take the kids off to soccer or netball? Who brings in his pay packet and helps with the dishes? Or bastards who don’t do any of that stuff. Does it matter that men are not seen as maternity services clients or consumer? There has been research.

- A birth is an opportunity for a man It’s a time when men, a new father, is emotional open and receptive If we can hook them, make a man fall in love with his baby, it can align those two people for their entire life.
