valuable resource

loved listening to this audiobook. life is hard enough without kids, more books like this need to be out there. I especially found the toddler info helpful since it's not as easily accessible and to be honest, I find it more challenging. this book has given me hope of being a better parent.

Just what my husband needed at the time

This book is what my husband needed when I had my son. At that time there were no books like this one. Everything was for women, as if men didn’t play a role in parenting. I remember when I was ready for delivery, my husband was driving to the hospital in a rush when suddenly, he stopped at the gas station to get gas when the tank was still half full! He was so nervous. I which this book was available then. The narrator did an excellent job with this book. This is a great book that any father, especially father-to-be, will benefit from.

Really good information!

I loved this audiobook, I thought was going to fill me with anxiety, informing me of all the things I didn't know about, but it was such an easy listen! Well-written and concise, but also with nice anecdotes to make all the information easily digestible. I feel quite confident now that I'll know what to expect and can always refer back to this. And also love that I can listen to it while doing things around the house, going for a run or driving.

Has made me so much more confident!

I’m currently trying for a baby with my wife and therefore listening to as much content as possible. I’ve heard a few books on being a new father and this is one of my favourites! It really understands what it’s like from the man’s point of view and I can easily relate to the author’s style. It takes you through the first year in sections, offering countless practical tips and self improvement guidelines. The narrator has passion and makes you want to keep listening. Top marks!

A fantastic guide for first-time dads!

"First Time Father: Baby’s First Year" struck a chord with me on a personal level. As a first-time dad, I was flooded with emotions and uncertainties when my little one arrived. This book was like a guiding light in those early days of fatherhood. It addressed the unique challenges and responsibilities that fathers face, which I found lacking in many parenting guides. The author's insights on preparation, balancing work and family, and nurturing a strong bond with your child were incredibly helpful. I felt like I wasn't alone in my struggles, and this book provided practical advice that made me a more confident and involved dad. It's a must-read for any new father on this beautiful, albeit challenging, journey.

What a great little book!

As an upcoming first-time dad, I loved reading this one by Alfie because the stories seem to fit with my life. This made me feel at ease, so it's nice to know that other people feel the same way I do. I can imagine that the advice that I've taken onboard will help me past the first year and make me a better dad.

"How to be a good skilled father."

Becoming a father is one of the greatest feelings for a man, but becoming a good father is somewhat difficult, especially when you are going through it for the first time.


You must know how to raise your child before he actually comes into this world. Hence, this book will definitely guide you

Fantastic Guide for New Fathers

This is a fantastic audiobook. I wish I had discovered something like this when I became a dad for the first time. It’s an incredible resource, packed with tons of useful content and advice and broken down into various sections that are easy to understand and follow. The narration is excellent too. The book covers everything in the baby's first year, up to becoming a toddler. The chapters are all very helpful, including a look at the true needs of your child as well as your own needs as a new dad on this miraculous journey. Alfie Thomas does an amazing job! Highly recommend!

Must have four new dads

This audiobook helps take the stress and worry away for first time fathers. Knowing all about babies first year eased the worries away and I'm so much more informed as to what to expect. Would recommend to first time dads all round!
