Birthing Sense has produced a 3x DVD Series that makes sense of your pregnancy, birth and early parenting experience.

Leanne became frustrated with the number of new parents who were unable to attend regular prenatal education sessions, or attended a one-off ante-natal class.

Mother of 2 and a member of Australian Breastfeeding Association for 10years, Leanne has been the primary producer, photographer and editor for a Project that brings all of the professionals to you.

She has gathered informative interviews from independent Midwives, Early Childhood Nurses, Doctors, a Naturopath, Dietician, Physiotherapist, Yoga Instructor, Genetic Counsellor, Massage therapist, Veterinary assistant and Parents to offer their suggestions about Pregnancy, Birth and Parenting over 3 DVDs to give new parents the opportunity to have a birth class in their own home, in their own time, and with as many support people as they choose- and to revisit the education as many times as they feel they need to.

Through the sale of the Birthing Sense Birth Education Series, Leanne has had a vision to help support you through ABA, as well as many of the young fistula women in third world countries.

DaddyPlace.com is a well established and active community of Dads. Probably the busiest site and biggest Dad community I've seen out there.

They have a wide range of resources and activities including polls & competitions. They also have some 'real life' events such as poker nights, etc.

Worth checking out!

This is the web-site for America's Mr Dad. An author of many best-selling books and popular in many well known publications, Armin Brott has been described as the 'superdad's superdad'.

Realistic, positive and humorous, his work is well worth checking out.

He also does a podcast at:

A very very well done "Web 2.0" style community for parents. Some really brilliant community-building features, and a vibrant, active community of participants.

Based around the concept of parent-submitted advice.

Definitely worth a visit and participation. Very impressive.

A great site with lots of information on being a Dad. Very much focused on stay-at-home Dads, but the information on there is relevant to any Dad.

Relatively new, but building up resources and members quickly.

They also have forums and blogs for stay-at-home Dads.

This is a community and support site, for people interested in going the cloth nappy route, or those stay-at-home parents involved in cloth nappy businesses.

"Everything you need to know about modern cloth nappies in Australia and New Zealand. Oz Cloth Nappies is an established community site, offering comprehensive information, support and advocacy for parents, work-at-home nappy business owners, and others"

An Australian baby directory - a comprehensive listing of Australian baby resources. They also have a forum, a baby name section and an articles section - although many of the articles seem related to advertisers products.

A little heavy on the advertising, but a good directory for Aussie parents!

A terrific blog written by a dad to his son as a series of letters. Very well written and very touching. Good to see a Dad letting his feelings show!
