Men supporting men through fatherhood

According to experts at DiaperShower.com, a nappy shower is basically a baby shower where guests bring nappies, wipes, and other baby essentials instead of traditional gifts like clothes and toys. These celebrations help new parents stock up on necessary items without constantly having to buy more themselves.

Modern nappy showers have become co-ed events that focus on celebrating both parents-to-be. The Johannesburg men proved that supporting your mate through fatherhood deserves just as much celebration as any traditional baby shower.
