Description



About the Book



"Hands-on, inspiring, and funny, this classic is the bottom line for new dads on pregnancy, birth, newborns and young children. So You're Going to Be a Dad helps first-time dads prepare for what's coming their way. Fully revised and updated, Downey explores the joys and trials of new parenting, including: Surviving pregnancy and childbirth; diapers, breast pumps, sleep deprivation; living with a baby in your house; the gear you need . . . and the gear you don't; navigating the online parenting world; lots of stuff about sex; and more importantly, how to be a modern dad in the 21st century. Topped off with a glossary of handy words new dads need to know (and some they don't), as well as words of wisdom from other ordinary fathers, So You're Going to Be a Dad is an engaging, reassuring and down-to-earth book for new dads"--
