Expecting & new dads groups in Oakland

Parent Haven's Oakland expecting and new dad groups give local dads a place to grow friendships, gather advice, and work through early parenthood together. Each group draws together expecting dads and dads with young babies at similar stages. Come to local meetups for dads, get active in the chat conversations, and come to know other fathers close by who understand what you're working through. Readying for your first baby or settling into life as a new parent, our Oakland dad groups give dads a place to get into supporting your partner during pregnancy, newborn care, baby sleep, feeding, parenting roles, balancing work and family life, and the rest of what comes with becoming a dad. With Parent Haven there's always room to meet fathers close by, to ask without judgment, and to grow real local friendships with other dads.
