  • Insights from multiple dad perspectives: Key learnings from our in-depth interviews with more than 50 new fathers from multiple backgrounds (e.g. dads who have conceived naturally, gone through IVF with their partners, dads of twins, and more), that also includes their reflections from COVID-19 and what they would do in any future restriction.

This book is a result of five years of research and understanding of what dads experience throughout pregnancy and beyond, and gives dads the confidence and clarity they need so they have a plan at each stage (and it's great for partners too!).

Great resource for first time dads

This is a great book for first time fathers. I love how the author explained how the woman's body works during pregnancy and all the possible complications during delivery. It helps a man to know what a woman goes through during pregnancy. They can then understand a lot of the moodiness and other aspects of pregnancy. And yes, get some nipple butter for your wife, she will love you for it.

I wish there were MORE stars!!!

This is the BEST listen yet. WOW, the reality checks and the total immersion in modern issues, concerns and worries is SO refreshing because it is covered in a real way with a calming approach and a "We can get through this with laughter and joy" attitude. I love the granularity of the outline and love even more the updates in each chapter about the growth of the child... so awesome to know what is happening inside that swelling belly. GREAT job, I will now go look up your other books.. sure hope you have some out there!!!

A Master!

I was introduced to this book when my nephew bought it as he is about to be a new dad. I quickly realized that it was different from the others. The author is down to earth, practical and authoritative while also making you laugh as you are guided through the world of preparation for baby, when baby comes, how to take care of your spose and many more important things you need to know . The good thing also is that this book is geared to das, but anyone can learn from it. The tips and information are up-to-date and well researched. This will make the perfect gift for family and friends who are expecting or who plans to have a family . This is a helpful book also even if you already have had a child. Good job!

Excellent audiobook - highly recommend to new dads

Being a dad for the first time is far from easy - and dealing with a pregnant wife can be quite the trouble at times. Luckily this book breaks down everything for dads to be in a very easy to understand and digestible manner.

The content is fabulous and the author gets into great detail of every milestone during pregnancy and child development and advises on best strategies to support the mother and the new baby.

The narration quality is also top quality which keeps the audiobook engaging throughout. Loved it!

Prepare for the future!

I am still young and unsure if I want to build a family, but there is no harm in knowing some "Dad tactics" right now.

The author of this book totally understands the mindset of a first-time Dad , the content is really informative, and I learned a lot. The narrator's voice makes this book stand out among others; I enjoyed every moment when I was listening to this audiobook.

Great read, neatly structured

Found this to be helpful and appreciated the organization of the information.

If I could find one negative it would be the 3-5 breaks in the book pleading for me to review the book on Audible.
