The Power of Presence: How Dads & Partners Can Shape the Postpartum Journey
Episode 1
Monday, 6 October, 2025
In this episode, I’m joined by Nick Lampp, a father of three and birth partner coach whose work helps dads and partners step into their role with confidence and care — not only in the birth room but throughout the postpartum journey.Nick shares how his first experience of birth during lockdown completely transformed his understanding of what it means to be a truly present birth partner. He speaks about how preparation, calm presence, and teamwork can shape both the mother’s and the baby’s experience, and how important it is to view postpartum as a shared journey rather than something a mother navigates alone.We discuss:How couples can build their birth plan together so partners feel prepared and empoweredThe importance of planning for the postpartum period, not just the birthLetting go of “bounce-back” culture and creating space for deep rest and recoveryHow dads and partners can support bonding, feeding, and emotional well-beingThe emotional challenges that new fathers and partners often face, and why their care matters tooNick’s reflections are full of wisdom, honesty, and heart. His work reminds us that presence and planning can make an enormous difference — not only to mothers and babies, but to the strength and connection of the whole family.You can find Nick on Instagram at @nick.lampp and read his writing on Substack, where he shares thoughtful resources for dads, partners, and birth professionals.Mentioned in this episode:Birth Without Violence by Frederick LeBoyerThe importance of baby massage for bonding and connectionConversations that help couples prepare emotionally for the fourth trimesterTo find out 'Five Ways to Holistically Support Postpartum Families' download my free guide here.
