My brother is a new Dad!

It explained how to hold a baby. It showed how to change a diaper. My brother is a new dad. Just yesterday, he called me. He was worried about bathing his baby. I remembered what the book said. I told him the simple steps. He felt much better. It felt good to help him. This kind of information is very useful.

Perfect for First-Time Dads

I had no clue what I was doing before my baby arrived, but this book made a huge difference. It breaks things down in a way that actually makes sense, without overwhelming you. I liked how it covered both baby care and how to support my partner. It gave me the confidence to step up and not feel totally lost. If you're about to become a dad and want real, practical advice, this is a great read.
