Summary

Prepare yourself for the sudden twists and turns of fatherhood with this personal account of a father-of-three who tells it like it is.

The First-Time Father is filled with honest guidance from a father who’s been there (three times!), made every mistake possible, and survived to tell the story.

Now you can step into fatherhood with as little stress as possible.

In The First-Time Father, you will discover:

  • Carefully structured steps to navigate you during stages of pregnancy, labor and delivery, and coming home with your newborn 
  • Practical tools you need to prepare for fatherhood and guide you through the pregnancy journey and post-delivery
  • Clear directions for raising a newborn and cultivating a healthy father-child relationship as your baby grows - with age-appropriate games and discipline techniques
  • A week-by-week outline of pregnancy phases so that you know what to do every step of the way
  • The dos and crucial don’ts of pregnancy - what to eat, how to behave, and when to go to the doctor
  • No-nonsense advice about the baby items you actually need, diaper changing mastery, and night-time routines
  • The essential instructions to prepare yourself mentally, physically, and emotionally for fatherhood
  • And much more.

It’s completely natural for new dads to have a ton of questions when it comes to pregnancy...and this interactive handbook takes the time to answer the questions no one else would.

No more confusion, stress, or worries.

Know exactly what your partner needs from you during and after the pregnancy, how to be part of the whole process, and be prepared for the unexpected.

Discover how you can be a great dad and keep your sanity all at the same time.

This is an Outstanding Overview

The book covers all subjects that may be left unsaid or overlooked in the pregnancy, birth, and baby caring process. There is some lover relationship advice that may not be relevant depending on how your relationship is with your partner, however the rest is pretty good. Certain ideas such as speaking up during the birth process, how to play with a baby, and the monthly checkpoints to look out for throughout pregnancy is spot on.

Fantastic Audiobook

A fantastic audiobook for new dads. What a pity I never had a book like this when I became a father for the first time. It's packed with tons of useful information and guidance, which is presented in a clear easily-understandable way. And great narration too. I recommend this for any new dad. It is a must-have! I loved it all and learned a lot, including about what baby items you actually need. Thomas Alfie does an amazing job!

Great even if its not your first time

I got this for my husband even though its not our first. We have three kids, but it's been a few years since our last one. Even though we've done this before, its can still be a little scary. This book helped him know what to expect and definitely helped our overall pregnancy and childbirth experience.
