The First Time Dad Instruction Manual (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781836880660)

The majority of pregnancy books are, understandably, aimed at women... But if you want to be the partner she needs at this time and start bonding with your child before they arrive in the world, you need something aimed specifically at new dads.

You need guidance that will take the panic out of this moment so you can focus on being the best partner and father your family could hope for and feel the excitement of the adventure ahead.

Written by a father of three who once stood exactly where you are now, this comprehensive guide is the manual every first-time dad needs. Inside, you'll discover:

• A clear understanding of the different stages of pregnancy and how to support your partner through them

• How you can bond with your child before they're even born

• Practical guidance for preparing to bring a newborn baby into your home

• What to expect from labor and childbirth-so you can be sure you'll be the supportive partner you want to be

• Exactly what you can do to make sure you bond with your baby immediately... and how you can support your partner through the first few days post birth

• Survival strategies for getting through the newborn stage-and exactly what you can expect during this time

• How your baby will change throughout the first year... and what you can do to encourage their development

• All your questions about everything from feeding to play answered... and how you can get involved at every stage

• The art of balancing work and family life (and why self-care will need to feature in your schedule too)

• How to recognize your emerging toddler-and what you can do to prepare for their increased activity and curiosity

• The long-term parenting strategies you want under your belt now, so you have a firm foundation at each stage of your child's development

And much more.
