Chana Svensson experienced culture shock when moving from Florida to Sweden five years ago while pregnant, notably impressed by the involvement of Swedish fathers, dubbed 'latte dads.' These dads gain from generous parental leave and often engage in activities like coffee breaks, baby classes, and community parenting.

Sharing leave with grandparents is also an option, leading to a more involved and supportive fatherhood culture.
