First produced in Australia in 2006, Being Dad's success has translated to US and UK versions, dozens of appearances on Television, Radio and Print, and global sales in advance of 100,000 copies.

The aim of the DVD is simple, be entertaining, engaging and informative - by providing regular Aussie blokes, their stories, experiences and tips as examples of how things should, and occasionally should NOT be done. Its a lighthearted, but informative, heartwarming and fascinating look in the minds of first time Aussie dads and is a must see for all first time pregnant couples.

Being Dad 1 is all about Pregnancy and Birth, whilst the wildly successful sequel, Bringing the Baby Home follows 6 dads as they bring the baby home.
Pick up tips from the new dads, start a conversation and be a better family - all without getting off the couch.
Check out this email we received this morning:

"My wife bought me Being Dad (1 and 2) just before my son was born. To tell you the truth, I thought it would be a waste of money and added to the ever growing pile of crap she was collecting as the birth of our son got near.
How wrong was I? It was so great to see Dad's from different backgrounds just sit around and openly talk about pregnancy, birth and what to expect. Fantastic. Best DVD I have ever watched. I have recommended it to any Dad or Dad to be that I can. To hear that other Dad's were going through what I was going through showed me that my experiences were normal.

My wife had an emergency C section ten days over due. On the morning it all happened rather quick (I guess that is obvious due to the word EMERGENCY). Anyway, with very little warning I found myself going from planning a long day of back rubbing and sugar lollies (the video had prepared me for what to expect for a normal birth but I didn't really pay too much attention to the C section stuff I guess) to being rushed into surgery. It was all a shock. My wife was on the verge of sheer panic and I was trying to calm her while keeping out the way of the doctors and nurses in the theatre. They lay my wife down and put that big green screen up so that you can't see what they are doing when they are cutting her open. I was at my wife's head end trying to keep her calm and reassure her. Then my son was born. I heard a cry in the room and got excited. It was my wife that told me the docs were calling for me. "Dad! Come over here" Of course, having been a dad for about seven seconds, I was not used to be called that. As I got up to make my way over to the heat lamp where my new born son was, I remembered the advice from one of the Dad's on the video. "You never have to look over the green screen. There are some things you never have to see, and the inside of your wife is one of them." I made a point of looking the other way as I made my way to my son. Thanks for the advice.

I lent my copies to a friend a while back and then moved house and never got them back but I intend to buy another copy of each to show other friends. A guy from work just had a baby and I am going to try and get them for him for Father's Day.

My son, Austin, is now 18 months and I regularly think of things I picked up from your DVD so thank you again so much.
