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
This review is from: The New Father: A Dad's Guide to the First Year (Mitchell Beazley Health) (Hardcover)
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 Couldn't Put This Book Down Once Opened!, 29 Mar 2010
By Fifona (Hampshire, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The New Father: A Dad's Guide to the First Year (Mitchell Beazley Health) (Hardcover)
Wow, what a read!

I bought this book as a present and thought that I'd quickly skim read it before giving it to the recipient but became so engrossed that I read this from cover to cover.

It is extremely informative without being condescending or patronising and is very easy to digest. It is well laid out with each month of a baby's first year covered in 12 separate chapters. The practical help is invaluable and any looming decisions become easy with all pros and cons of each situation clearly detailed, so that each person can make the right choice for them and their child. As well as providing an insight into the role of being a parent, the descriptions of each development stage that your baby will go through will prove invaluable together with analysing the emotions that each father and the baby's mother are likely to experience (guilt and anger included).

This book is a must read for all new parents, not just for fathers-to-be.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for expectant couples, 21 July 2009
This review is from: The New Father: A Dad's Guide to the First Year (Mitchell Beazley Health) (Hardcover)
This book was a really great read for my husband. It made him feel really involved and he got to teach me things I didn't know. I especially liked the way it explained the feelings I may be having which meant he could be sympathetic to my needs, without me having to explain or remind him.

We ended up reading the book as a couple in bed and I learned loads about my child and my partner. I think this even brought us closer together as parents.

We'd both definately recommend this book to all expectant couples.
