Summary

When it comes to the unknown territory of having a baby, moms to be have nearly unending resources to plan and execute a healthy pregnancy and navigate those first months and years as a parent with confidence. New dads? Not so much. They want to get in the game, too, but, says Super Bowl champion Benjamin Watson, "I could find clearer directions for putting together a baby swing than for taking care of a newborn child."

The New Dad's Playbook is every man's game plan to being the best partner and the best father, from preseason (preparing for fatherhood) to Super Bowl (birth) to postseason (after baby is home). It helps men understand what their wives are going through physically and emotionally during and after pregnancy, allowing them to support their most important teammate. It tells men what to expect when their baby is home - and what to do when the unexpected happens. This tell-it-like-it-is book will take men from just winging it to winning it.

Good Book

Good book with a lot of information but I found it very boring after going through a few chapters. Still worth recommending to new dads.

meh

it was OK, there were a couple of things to gleam from this, was a whole section about eating chocolate from nappies that wasn't essential. some of it was a little bit sexist/macho, a bit like fatherhood through the prism of a sports jock.
