Andrew Shaw

Andrew Shaw is an award-winning parenting columnist, former journalist, and creator of Instafather, a blog dedicated to helping new parents, especially dads. He is a married Pennsylvania-born father of three (a son and twin girls) who, like many men, hadn't held a baby more than once or twice before becoming a dad. Now, he's a full-fledged baby-wearing pro — and an advocate for involved fatherhood, especially after his experiences in the NICU and in co-raising three kids who at one point were all 3 and younger. In between constantly getting these kids snacks, he’s a marketing strategist and a professional improv comedian who has toured across the mid-Atlantic. In addition to Instather.com, Andrew’s work has been featured on SCARY MOMMY, THE GOOD MEN PROJECT, FATHERLY, and CENTRAL PENN PARENT. He's the author of "The New Mom's Guide to New Dads" and "The Guy's Guide to Being a Birth Partner" as well as the upcoming "First-Time Dad Journal."
