Becoming a parent is a life-altering experience, but the conversations are often heard from the female perspective.

Kieran - a doting father of two - has gathered together three other dads who will be familiar to you for a monthly conversation around parenting.

Shane Coleman has three children aged between 13 and 18, John Fardy's three are two, five and eight, while Simon Tierney is a new daddy to an eight month old.

This week they discussed those first days and weeks with a newborn, raising kids through the various stages of childhoods, and of course, conversations around poo.
