Product Description

Review

Covers everything a first time father-to-be will want to know about pregnancy. (Junior Pregnancy & Baby Magazine )

Product Description

What bloke is entirely ready or totally prepared for the reality of a new baby and all that it entails? Babies may bring boundless joy into your life but they also bring temper tantrums, stubborn moods and 90-decibel fits of hysterical screaming. In Jon Smith's new, absolutely essential and extremely entertaining baby manual, he provides all the treasured wisdom that will help new dads master coping with delights such as projectile vomiting, sleep-deprived mums, the 'hidden gifts' that come with nappy changing and buggies with assembly manuals the size of War and Peace. Here a new father will find all the essential information he needs to know for the new addition to the family.

Another great read! All Dad's Must read this book!! 30 July 2008

By James Degiorgio

Format:Paperback

The Blokes guide books are absolutly fantastic, and a real must for all expectant fathers! The book is written in such a readable non-bulls$%t way, that it cannot fail to make you laugh, cry and think deeply about your forthcoming arrival. Yes it's humours, but it is FULL of useful and CRITICAL info. I read this book prior to attending any anti-natel classes, and found that when we went to the classes, I was actually one of the most knowledgable people in the room (except for the mid-wife!!!) I cannot recommend this book enough, but it, read it, and pass the word on to all your male friends! Lastly good luck with your little one!

Recommended. 2 July 2008

By dhc

Format:Paperback

Before reading I'd presumed this would be a 'lads' guide to babies - all men behaving badly and using jiffy bags for nappies, but I was suprised how practical and useful this book was. It's full of solid, real world advice. I haven't read anything else by the author but this has a subtle touch - there's humour throughout but never at the expense of the material. Top stuff.

Good to the point advice 29 Aug 2010

By Ms. Laura Nelson

Format:Paperback

Good book, very practical and to the point which you need when you have a child I think. Both my partner and I enjoyed reading it although it was intended for my partner first. The only bit that stressed him out a bit was the money worries and this book help explain them. Good read overall.
