Publisher's 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.

I was fully engaged!

This hooked me with the introduction and story. It help eased my mind knowing we all struggle with what to do our first time. The author did a great job to peek my interest and walk me through what to expect and how to handle it. Great audio. My only negative is that I found it a bit long, but that’s probably a personal problem. Highly recommend this book.

Excellent advice!

I got this audiobook for my brother-in-law, and he said it was very helpful for him and had a ton of great advice. he told me it brought up things that he had not yet thought about and was glad to know about in advance! He also said the author/narrator included some humor in it, which kept him engaged and listening. It's a great audiobook the first-time dads will both enjoy and benefit from.

The perfect book for new dads

My cousin is in his early 4os and looking forward to being a dad for the first time. He's so excited and at the same time anxious. The mixed feelings have got him so worried I decided to go on a search for books to help ease him into his new world of parenthood. The First Time Father has given him much-needed help. I listened to this audiobook with him. It takes you through the stages of pregnancy, labour and getting the baby home. It prepares you for fatherhood and every stage of meeting your child's needs and bonding with your newborn. Highly recommended!
