Summary
Giles Alexander is one of the UK's leading dad bloggers, who has been writing about fatherhood and the highs and lows of his own parenting journey for nearly a decade.
After finding out he was going to be a dad for the first time, Giles quickly discovered that almost everything online about pregnancy and parenthood was targeted at mums and their experience, with hardly anything to help new dads figure out this monumental transition in their lives.
To help fix this, Giles created his blog – www.youthedaddy.co.uk – which quickly became a favourite with new mums and dads around the world, drawn in by his humour, honesty and reassuring, practical advice.Best known for his “Man’s Guide to Baby Growth During Pregnancy”, interviews with well-known personalities and parenting experts, and his funny and heart-warming parent poetry, Giles’ posts have helped more than a million parents to navigate the rollercoaster ride of parenthood, while providing support, advice and encouragement to new dads the world over.
Excitingly, Giles has recently published his first book - YOU THE DADDY: the hands-on dad's guide to fatherhood - providing dads-to-be with a huge amount of practical advice on how to be supportive partners throughout pregnancy and birth, as well as confident, hands-on dads throughout the early years of fatherhood.A proud working dad with a busy career and home life, Giles lives in the UK with his wife Rosie and their three small children.
