Publisher's summary

Congratulations! You’re about to begin a transformative journey. Here’s how to fully prepare and make it a wondrous experience for you, your wife, and your new baby.

Admit it. Deep down, you’re scared out of your wits.

Maybe you pumped your fist, yelled with delight, or jumped in excitement when you found out you are going to be a dad.

But then maybe doubts started crossing your mind as well, gnawing at your cheerful thoughts.

“I don’t even know how to change a diaper!”

“What will I do if my wife experiences pain during pregnancy?”

“Will everything we do be centered around the baby now?”

And so many other questions that keep you awake.

You’ll be relieved to know that what you’re going through is normal and understandable.

It happens to every man who truly cares about his wife and about starting a family together.

More importantly, you must know that with the right knowledge and skills, you can drastically reduce your stress and confusion.

You don’t have to let your nervousness take over and deprive you of the unique experience ahead.

And while there’s a ton of information out there on the subject, it’s always better to opt for a reliable source of practical advice.

One that shows you how to be confident and effective in all aspects or fatherhood.

In New Dad, you’ll discover:

  • How to dive deep into your consciousness and assess your own upbringing to prevent deep-rooted issues from affecting your new family
  • How to prepare yourself mentally and emotionally, so you can strengthen your commitment toward your partner and child
  • 10+ ways to bolster your finances so all needs are covered as you start a family
  • A month-by-month guide on how to take great care of your wife throughout her pregnancy
  • Why and how to practice mindfulness in your relationship as you prepare for parenthood
  • How to decide responsibly whether to go for hospital birth or natural home birth
  • Practical tips and tricks, time-honored advice, and medically sound routines for baby care to make life easier for everyone
  • Eight baby care skills you must get good at that will set you up for the “best dad” title
  • Why bonding with your baby is so important—and how to do it every chance you get
  • How to maintain a fantastic relationship as husband and wife outside of caring for a newborn
  • And much more!

It’s unrealistic to think that all possible challenges before, during, and after childbirth can be completely avoided.

So that’s not what you should be aiming to accomplish.

Rather, the goal is to know what to expect and what to do to minimize hassles and maximize memorable experiences.

It may be true that nothing can ever fully prepare you for fatherhood, but this comprehensive guide comes close.

New Dad is packed with indispensable knowledge about how to become the best new dad you can be.

If you’re ready to discover how to become the best dad you can possibly be while setting your new family up for a bright future, then scroll up and click the “Add to Cart” button right now.

Great Book.

For first-time dads, "New Dad: The Ultimate Pregnancy Guide for First-Time Dads" is an indispensable guide that will help them through every step of their pregnancy and help them feel more prepared for the birth of their kid. This book is a valuable resource for expecting fathers since it details the progress of the pregnancy week by week, offers helpful advice, and encourages them to embrace their new role as a parent.

The author's awareness of the special position of fathers-to-be is evident throughout the book. From conceiving a child until giving birth, they cover it all, giving pregnant moms a wealth of knowledge on the physical and emotional changes they will go through. New fathers may participate in the pregnant journey with confidence because to the detailed information provided each week on their child's growth and development.

The usefulness of this book is one of its many merits. The author provides helpful advice for first-time fathers, answering frequent queries and easing fears about being good partners, good parents, and good people in general. The book delves into a wide range of issues, from getting the house in order to financial planning, emotional support for both parents, and understanding the healthcare system. Childbirth preparation, nursing, and postpartum care are all covered.

In addition, the book welcomes the reader into the emotional journey of becoming a father and provides advice on how to build a loving and supportive relationship with the mother-to-be and her unborn child. The author stresses the need of candid conversation, compassion, and engagement during pregnancy. They explain the emotional shifts that a mother-to-be may experience and provide guidance on how to be there for her during this time.

The author's manner is entertaining and conversational, making it simple for new fathers to relate to his stories and take his counsel to heart. Each chapter focuses on a different part of the trip, making it simple for readers to get the information they need. The book's attractiveness and utility are amplified by tales from the author's life, insights from subject matter experts, and handy checklists.

While the book serves as a helpful resource, readers should keep in mind that their own experiences with pregnancy may differ from those described in the book. The book is a great resource for new fathers, but they should also consult with their own healthcare providers and modify the tactics to fit their own needs and preferences.

First Time Dads Must Listen!

This book is a pleasure to listen to and a must for first time dads. I was happy to see how many topics were covered, it's very thorough.

The author did a great job with talking about finances and the pregnancy month-to-month sections. I love that bonding with both mom and baby we're included as well.

I think the most important sections involved self reflection and mentally preparing to be a father. This is so important because so many of us just "winged" it, but if you take time to consider and evaluate then prepare to be the dad you want to be, the outcome is sure to be very rewarding.

Highly recommended!
