Life Saver

No man is an island and neither are fathers. Being a single father to a daughter is difficult. Raising a child requires all the support you can get. This book is full of information that I wish I had when my daughter was little. If you are a first time father, don't make the mistake of passing it by

Simplyfing a complex part of life

it is absolutely wild to me that humans are ever born. Pregnancy is a wild time for expecting parents! Fortunately, this guide hits on every stage of the process and gives both parents, not just the dads, a needed boost of confidence. I especially liked a section talking about the actual birth, and listing all of the things that might happen and what they might look like so that the non-birthing partner is ready and can stay calm, hopefully leading to a calmer experience for the birthing partner as well. I also found it interesting learning about the different ways that parents might start bonding with their child before the birth. Whether you are an expecting parent, or simply someone interested in how humans work, this book is worth a listen.
