Now that you are a dad, you will need to know how to care for your baby. Most guys feel awkward or uncomfortable holding, burping, or changing infants. No more! Learn from experts how to care for your new baby. Laugh along with a pair of veteran dads that have cut the cord and lived to tell the tale. "Push" play and be ready to "breath" easier.

In this lesson, DadLabs will go over general baby care, including how to: hold baby, burp baby, swaddle, and diaper. The video will also discuss what to expect when you are moved from the delivery room to a regular room (the time frame will vary depending on the type of delivery). DadLabs will also discuss the proper way to install a car seat and when you get to take baby home.

Even though expecting a baby has nothing to do with football playoffs, grilling excellent steaks, margin calls, fuel injection, or cold brewskis, this series of DadLabs lessons will teach you what you need to know to get you safely and happily to that big 0th birthday:
