I give a copy of this to every friend of mine who about to become a Dad. It is easy reading, has great information about what to expect, and if you read it your wife will be amazed at your knowledge of baby care.Book Review: Both amusing and effective
Summary: 5 Stars
I really enjoyed and laughed while reading it, and learnt a lot from a practical point of view about how taking care of my baby. It's extremely easy to read, and contains a lot of tips of every kind not only related to babies, but for dads too.Book Review: Fun, informative, and easy to read
Summary: 5 Stars
We just had our first baby last week. I picked this book up a couple of days ago and have been reading in short burst (as the book was designed for) with a book in one hand and a sleeping baby in the other.
The content is fun; engaging to read for both parents. It also does a great job of zoning in on the "important" stuff that new dads want to know, rather than hundreds of pages that are great info, but simply would never get read by most new parents during their haze of sleep deprevation.
5 well deserved stars.
Book Review: Good, Fun Book for Beginnner Dads
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is a great starting place if you are like me and are a first time Dad with absolutely zero experience dealing with babies. It presents really useful information and tidbits in an entertaining format for guys. The illustrations are quite amusing as well. Who knew that Bob Marley's 'Buffalo Solider' has a perfectly soothing rhythym that matches the baby's heartbeat and helps them relax? It is also contains tidbits on how to leverage your bundle of joy psychologically on others - catching relief at work etc. Things that guys need to know that they would never learn from your typical baby books. I particularly like the bit on how to powernap to minimize fatigue.
If you are a guy and are clueless, take a crack at this book. If nothing else, you will be amused and I am willing to bet you will pick up ideas (and retain them) much faster than you would reading a library of your run-of-the mill baby books. I'm passing it on to my buds when they get their first crack at being dads.
Book Review: Hilarious and informative
Summary: 5 Stars
Read this book 3 times before the baby was born, because it was so funny. Several of the nurses in the hospital saw it and wrote down the name of the book so that they could recommend it to other new fathers. I've bought another copy for my bro in law so that he can enjoy it and learn as much as I have. I haven't found any other source of information more valuable and humorous for a new father then this book.
