Publisher's summary

Of all the worldly experiences, nothing beats being a dad! But to enjoy this momentous new role to the max, you’re going to need some indispensable advice…from a man! 

Not long from now, you are going to be able to hold the most precious thing in the world in your arms. But that doesn’t mean to say you can’t feel terrified! 

Do you feel that, as mom is tossing and turning to try and get comfortable, your head is spinning with questions like:

“What if I’m no good at this?”

Or…

“Am I going to be that dad who drops the baby?”

For moms, there are a ton of books preparing them for every change and every stage. Let’s face it, the only set of instructions men get is the one in the pregnancy test. 

They are left to figure out the rest—on top of supporting their partners.

To make the process less daunting, you need to know exactly what new responsibilities you will have and what challenges lay ahead of you.

This is why a dad of three, who really has been through it all, has put together the man’s manual on pregnancy, babies, and toddlers.

In The First Time Father two-in-one value bundle, you will discover:

  • A week-by-week outline of pregnancy phases so that you know what to do every step of the way
  • The preparational steps you need to take before your baby is born—educate yourself, broaden your knowledge, and know how to do things right from the start
  • Carefully structured steps to navigate you through every stage from pregnancy and delivery to coming home with your newborn
  • No-nonsense advice about the baby items you actually need, diaper changing mastery, and nighttime routines
  • Clear directions for raising a newborn and cultivating a healthy father-child relationship as your baby grows—with age-appropriate games and discipline techniques
  • The essential instructions to prepare yourself mentally, physically, and emotionally for fatherhood
  • Balancing work-life and parent-life—how to prioritize so that you’re there for your child while still providing for your family
  • Helpful information on a newborn’s development—know all about their emotional, mental, and social advancements in life
  • Some of the best advice that new dads need to evolve during fatherhood and give their children the best life they deserve
  • The true needs of your child—surefire ways to build an everlasting relationship with your toddler filled with trust and love

And much more.

You are about to embark on the most incredible, life-changing experience of your life. It’s perfectly normal to have questions and even the odd moment of panic.

The best way to feel confident that you are the best dad out there is to have information and a plan—one foot in front of the other, one minute at a time!

Wonderful for First Time Dads

There are so many books out there for new moms and this audiobook is just what I was looking for to buy for my husband. My husband listened to this audiobook and referenced it to the point where he made me laugh and smile. It made him feel like he was an important part of the new family we were going to have. His favorite section was the new dad cheatsheet. He learned the best ways to prepare for the new baby, natural childbirth, recognizing the on-set of labor, bonding techniques, feeding the baby, dressing a newborn, diaper changing and being a playmate to the child. This book gave him confidence and empowered him with great tools. We highly recommend this bundle and it would make a great gift too.

Interesting subject. Good narration.

This audiobook has so much information.
It is very intuitively organized into stages a father goes through,
from the mother's pregnancy to raising a kid.
This guide includes a lot of practical tips on how to make the most out of those stages. The book itself is well-formatted, which I appreciate, as this makes reading and navigating the book easy and makes it more useful as a reference book for the future. Overall, a great guide to gift to new dads.
Would recommend.

A must-have for first-time fathers

I was terrified by the news that I was about to become a father, and I really needed something to help me take charge.

This audiobook answered my prayers!

It helped me by teaching me what behaviors to adopt in situations like those in which an inexperienced father finds himself, giving me advice, practical examples, and the reassurance I needed!

Highly recommended listening.

A First Time Dads Must

My brother-in-law is having a baby and he seems as he never came in contact with a baby before. He keeps asking me questions as I have 3 kids now, but I wanted to give him more educated answers. This will make me look like a guru now. Highly recommended for new fathers! Go get them

Fantastic book for all new dads!

Being a dad isn't easy, and being alongside a pregnant mother to be isn't easy. There is no other one stop shop of dad information out there like this book. The content within this book is super comprehensive and covers everything you need to know during pregnancy - what to do and say and what to avoid entirely- as well as a confidence builder on what to expect as a new dad.

I really enjoyed this audiobook! Aside from the content the narration quality is top notch which makes the listen that much more engaging. Absolutely recommend!
