Product Description

Product Description
The essential, month-by-month handbook on all aspects of fatherhood during the first year, complete with sound advice, valuable information, and tips from top researchers in the parenting field. An indispensible, month-by-month guide to the often bewildering world of fatherhood during the first year, this book combines sensitivity, wisdom, and an easy-going humour to provide fathers with all they need to know about their baby and themselves in a clear and concise way. The author's and other fathers' personal experiences, as well as sound advice and information from top researchers in the parenting field, are incorporated to address the many complex needs and concerns of fathers, while delightful illustrations highlight the joys and challenges unique to parenting. The New Father: A Dad's Guide to the First Year teaches how to chart a baby's physical, intellectual, verbal, and social development; understand your own emotional and psychological development; deal with changes in your relationship with your partner; juggle work with family, while still becoming an involved father; analyse your baby's temperament; choose the right insurance policy; and introduce your baby to music, reading, and even computers. This book provides a wealth of essential information for every dad, and it's sure to give every mum some fresh insights, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect, 24 Oct 2006
By Posh Tater (London (UK)) - See all my reviews
So far, this is the book that we have both loved. It's written by a man with three children, who learned, like all of us, on the job. He's straight talking, encouraging, tells you how to, when to, why to. It's aimed at fathers, because there are too few books written for men about being a dad. I would recommend all the mums read it too, and get an insight into what's going on with the dad.

Each chapter is broken down into "what's going on with your partner", "what's going on with your baby", "what's going on with you". Nothing is missed. What might worry you, what will worry you. Cars, money, hospital appointments - should you go or not. Whether to be there at the birth. Conversations it would be useful to have. How to cope with it, what NOT to do and what NOT to say! What the baby is up to this month. What it's not up to. Tips on what to do to remain a couple, and not just a pair of sleepless zombies!

The man deserves a Nobel prize for writing it and the previous book The Expectant Father is also brilliant. BUY THEM. You won't regret it and you will be dipping in to them until your children leave home. And then handing them on when they have children!

5.0 out of 5 stars this is a fantastic book, 28 Jun 2009
By M. J. Atkin (Ripon, North Yorkshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book was really easy to read. It is one of those that you suddenly realise you have been sat down for hours. Even after the first chapter I was giving my girlfriend lessons in what to expect. In between those two covers is a whole bunch of information, even if i forget everything it has taught me, it wil still have given me and my girlfriend a heads up.
there are parts in particular that i like especially about this book. For example: it explains what you will be going through at each stage, then what to expect the mother will be going through (even the facts i would rather not know) and then what the child will be going through at each stage of the birth and the then all the way through the first year. Experiences from other fathers fit right in in this book and also uses some material from other authors to back up what is beight taught in this book.
I absolutely recommend this book.
