Synopsis
This is a new edition of the best-selling practical manual on baby care written specifically for men, covering all shapes, models and sizes. Dr. Ian Banks combines his medical expertise with his experience as a father of four to produce this unique book. It covers all stages of infant development, from conception to birth and on to 2 years old. Hints, tips and advice from real-life fathers and medical professionals, fault finding charts, serious illustrations and a look at the lighter side with Jim Campbell's cartoons are provided. It is now in full colour and is updated to include the latest opinions on breastfeeding, immunisation (including the MMR controversy) and paternity leave.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic stuff, 25 Aug 2003
This book was an inspiration.

For those fathers who want to learn a little more and did not know where to look then this is the answer.

It is well written and is also very funny! The author has managed a great mix of useful facts and humour to make it very readable.

I would heartily recommend it to my friends and would urge anyone reading this to place an order today for a great read!

Well done.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 20 Feb 2004
By Mr Duncan Pine (Hampshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Fantastic book - aimed to get dad's interest. The page on nappies (complete with colour photos) especially useful - saved a complete shock later.....

Could do with a section for 'other options' i.e. Twins

5.0 out of 5 stars Informative, wise and funny, 18 Jun 2003
By R. Munro "Robert Munro" (Tunbridge Wells) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
As someone eagerly awaiting the imminent delivery of a brand spanking new baby(2003 edition, male version), I found this latest offering from the marvellous Haynes a godsend.

All the practicalities of baby operating and maintenance are explained in the usual straightforward and thoroug manner we have come to expect form this foremost publisher of manuals.

I was particularly gratified by the absence of cod psychology and half-baked philosophising which dominates so much of the new parent market.

Facts: that's what we men need and there's plenty to get your teeth into here.

Excellent stuff

The format - a baby book laid out like a car maintenance book - might seem trite and shallow. It might even seem like a jokey gift to give to a new dad, but there is much more... Read more
