6 Things New Parents Should Know (according to older parents)

You&apos;ve probably heard of the specific kind of depression that sometimes descends on 30-40% of moms after a new baby arrives, but did you know that it may also affect up 20% of dads? In this episode, I discuss the realities of postnatal depression with local Psychiatrist Dr Bavi Vythilingum. We chat about the factors that can lead to parents, especially dads, suffering from this kind of depression, how we can avoid it, and what treatments are available. If you would like to chat to Dr Bavi, you can email her: drbavipractice@gmail.com.Please rate and review this podcast, and share it with your friends!Subscribe to Ask AfroDaddy:Apple Podcasts: bit.ly/AskAfroDaddyonApplePodcastsGoogle Podcasts: bit.ly/AskAfroDaddyonGooglePodcastsSpotify: bit.ly/AskAfroDaddyonSpotifyStitcher: bit.ly/AskAfroDaddyonStitcher

Postnatal Depression in Dads - It's a Thing!

On Friday, the 25th June 2021, the Afro may be no more.That&apos;s if YOU make sure that we make our R120 000 target as we raise funds for the Maletsatsi Foundation.This foundation provides care for many children who are currently in need of a place of safety, but more than that, they provide a family. Some of the children under their care are getting to the age when formal education is becoming a priority which is putting much pressure on an already stretched budget.So, here&apos;s what we are doing: From the 16th to the 25th June, we will be collecting donations for the foundation, and the more money we raise, the tougher challenges I will face during the live stream on the evening of the 25th.If we hit R120 000 at some point during those 10 days...the afro is going to go. Keep an eye on the AfroDaddy Instagram and Facebook pages for the donation link coming soon!Find out more about the Maletsatsi Foundation here.Please rate and review this podcast, and share it with your friends!Subscribe to Ask AfroDaddy:Apple Podcasts: bit.ly/AskAfroDaddyonApplePodcastsGoogle Podcasts: bit.ly/AskAfroDaddyonGooglePodcastsSpotify: bit.ly/AskAfroDaddyonSpotifyStitcher: bit.ly/AskAfroDaddyonStitcher

Encouraging Courageous Creativity in Your Kids

Finding great content about fatherhood is really tough (that&apos;s one of the reasons I started AfroDaddy in the first place), but finding content about fatherhood that is funny, honest and not demeaning about dads is almost impossible.So stumbling across the Dumb Dad Podcast  was a very happy event for me. These two comedians and stay-at-home-dads use short and smart videos on TikTok to show the true humour behind being a parent, and then talk through their dumbest dad moments on their weekly podcast.This was SUCH a fun interview - it shows that no matter what part of the world you&apos;re from, there are experiences that we all share in this dad life!I recommend watching their videos here,  and listening to their podcast here.Please rate and review this podcast, and share it with your friends!Subscribe to Ask AfroDaddy:Apple Podcasts: bit.ly/AskAfroDaddyonApplePodcastsGoogle Podcasts: bit.ly/AskAfroDaddyonGooglePodcastsSpotify: bit.ly/AskAfroDaddyonSpotifyStitcher: bit.ly/AskAfroDaddyonStitcher

Two Dads vs Google Part 2

Men can be really stupid sometimes.Okay fine...a lot of the time.But honestly, one of the dumbest things we do is wait until things are REALLY bad before we get any medical help or treatment. This is obviously particularly bad during a pandemic like the one we&apos;re currently experiencing.Why do men do this, and more importantly, how do we encourage them to start caring for their health more proactively? To help me answer these questions, I was joined on this episode by The Street Doctor SA, who has had to deal with this issue quite a bit in his line of work.Check out more of The Street Doctor SA here:https://www.facebook.com/thestreetdoctorsaThe Street Doctor SA on YoutubePlease rate and review this podcast, and share it with your friends!Subscribe to Ask AfroDaddy:Apple Podcasts: bit.ly/AskAfroDaddyonApplePodcastsGoogle Podcasts: bit.ly/AskAfroDaddyonGooglePodcastsSpotify: bit.ly/AskAfroDaddyonSpotifyStitcher: bit.ly/AskAfroDaddyonStitcher
