🫀 Dad’s health: what nobody tells you
Fathers and other caregivers need healthcare too.
Warning signs and life-saving habits
1. What to prepare
Arrange a primary-care review for persistent tiredness, pain, sleep problems or mood changes; do not assume everything is normal exhaustion.
2. What to check
Share night care safely and ask for practical help. Seek urgent help for self-harm thoughts, chest pain or severe breathing difficulty.
3. In Singapore
Confirm the maternity hospital’s assessment route and after-hours number. Arrange newborn follow-up with the hospital, polyclinic or GP, including jaundice review when directed. Public subsidies and MediSave arrangements have eligibility rules; check charges and referral requirements.
