- Great book for a new dad
I bought this book for a friend becuase it was very informative for me when my wife had our first child.I love the book and recommend it for any first time dad.
Rating: 
- I wouldn't recommend it.
I am going to be a father any day now.When I first began reading I paid very close attention but eventually just scanned through chapters looking for bits of useful information I hadn't heard anywhere else (there weren't many). For every useful point in this book there are several point of views and emotions that the author was feeling.My personal feelings rarely ever mirrored his whatsoever.I would not tell a friend to buy this book.
Buy the Mayo Clinic book, it's all you'll need before ... Read More
