Great Opportunity for Pittsburgh’s New and Expectant Dads!

Hey Dad – do you ever wish your newborn or toddler came with a how-to manual?  While there may not be a manual, there is the Doctor Dad™ program, designed to teach you the basic how-tos about caring for your child.  And, if you live in the Pittsburgh area, there is a Doctor Dad™ class near you!   

In our first ever city-wide initiative, National Fatherhood Initiative (NFI) is training almost 90 local Pittsburgh organizations to offer Doctor Dad™ classes where you can learn the following important how-to’s:

  • Child-proof your home
  • Treat minor injuries
  • Infant/Toddler nutrition
  • Calm a crying child
  • When to take your child to the doctor
  • Treating a fever and the common cold
  • And much more! 

Check the listings below for organizations throughout the Pittsburgh area that are offering Doctor Dad™ classes.  Please contact your local Doctor Dad™ facilitator for more information.
