Summary
'Bringing Baby Home', our review of empirical evidence about UK fathers/fatherhood in the first postnatal year, picks up where our earlier report, 'Who’s the Bloke in the Room?' left off. The report explores who dads are; what they do as caregivers, and what influences this; what impact they have (on children and mothers); and how services engage with them. The report begins with a synthesis of findings from a scope of the research literature. It goes on to explore questions asked about fathers postnatally in three major UK birth cohort studies (ALSPAC, the MCS and GUS), identifying data available for analysis and data collection gaps. Finally, it makes recommendations for research, policy and practice.
