Publisher's summary

Congratulations! And here’s how to become the world’s greatest dad.

Let’s face it - fatherhood doesn’t come naturally to all dudes. To make matters worse, most resources are focused on moms-to-be. There are books, support groups, and courses all tailored to the needs of new moms. Expectant dads, however, have their specific worries that need to be addressed.

Feeling troubled by the future is nothing but natural. You’ll probably ask yourself a ton of questions - Will I be able to support my family financially? Will I know how to take good care of my child? Will the relationship with my partner change forever?

Someone who has gone through the joys and worries of fatherhood can give you all of these answers and more. As a father-to-be, you need the practical steps to taking the best care of your child. You also (and more importantly) need emotional support and a good understanding of all the crazy feelings you’re experiencing.

Nobody is fully prepared to be a father. So, relax a bit. You will do the best you can, and you’ll succeed!

Learning through trial and error, however, is also not an option. After all, your child and your relationship are at stake here.

Most fatherhood books focus on the theory. This guide explains the actual experiences that a father has gone through and the tested strategies he utilized in those early days to take good care of his kids. The book is also filled with recommendations by pediatricians and child care specialists concerning the best and safest practices.

Finally, Future Daddy will focus on your emotional health, perspective, and relationship - important aspects of fatherhood that often remain neglected.

A "Meh" Read...

To start the narration is better than I first expected for this type of book so it has that going for it. Over all this book glosses over pretty much everything. For someone is in their late teens or early twenties and about to become a father this book might be a good read but I still wouldn't recommend it. All three trimesters of pregnancy are covered in about 5 minutes while the only advice the author has about depression in new fathers is "seek counsoling." The author capitlizes on generict advice such as "hold your partners hand during birth if she wants it" or "limit the number of visitors after birth." These bland and commonly known phrases comprise of the majority of this book. There was nothing I recall learning from this book that I did not already know, even with my very limited knowledge of pregnancy.
